Search25 Task and Finish Group

In order to address the future of the Search25 service the M25 Consortium has established a Search25 Task and Finish Group comprised of members from both university and scholarly libraries.

The Search25 service will be decommissioned on 31st July 2021.  At this time the service will no longer be available to consortium members.  At the same time we are encouraging members who are not already doing so to contribute their bibliographic metadata to the Jisc Library Hub and thus the National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK).

The Task and Finish Group hosted a free ‘Members’ Seminar: Library Hub Knowledge Exchange’ to provide information and support for members. We have now established the M25 Buddying Scheme to facilitate peer support within the Consortium for those institutions looking to transition to Jisc’s Library Hub.
