From the first Milne Library InfoBits Newsletter, Spring 2004:
“FindText is Geneseo’s implementation of an application, more commonly known as SFX, that permits context-sensitive linking between abstracting, indexing, and citation databases and full-text repositories. SUNYConnect purchased SFX for all 64 SUNY campuses….
FindText saves time and reduces confusion. Users no longer have to do a separate search in GLOCAT or elsewhere to find the journal issue they need. For many students looking at a citation, the “Now what do I do?” hurdle has been removed. FindText will search by citation to find the article (vs. just the journal), so users are saved the trouble of trying to figure out which database may have the full text for each particular issue, or scrutinize the often complicated holdings information in GLOCAT.
If FindText turns up nothing in either another database or GLOCAT, it will provide links to both an interlibrary loan request form and various web search engines. It’s all very convenient and simple, but librarians are always ready to answer any questions that may arise. “
