Problems in NELLI’s MetaSearch

THE PROBLEMS ARE OVER!

Currently you cannot  choose multiple databases and conduct simultaneous cross-searches to them. The problems are limited to MetaSearch only.  Otherwise NELLI is functioning normally. You can, for instance, conduct Article Searches and QuickSearches.

A service break of a few hours is needed to fix the problems. The planned time for the break is next Sunday.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
