Metasearch now searches ACM and SLAC

Search results from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Portal and the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) Library are now provided by the Lane Library's bioresearch metasearch search engine.

The ACM Portal is one of the principal databases for computer and software engineering, drawing on more than 50 years of research published by ACM.

With the increasing cross-disciplinary nature of biomedical research, including such databases in one's searches is essential when investigating questions pertaining to e.g., instrumentation and data analysis methods.

For this reason, we have also added the SLAC Library's collection to metasearch, thus enabling cross-disciplinary searches involving questions related to molecular imaging and nuclear medicine, to take just two random examples.
