Full library catalogue data

[jtweed]

Description

In order to support a full migration from Wellcome Library to Wellcome Collection, we need to ensure that all materials available in the library are fully described and discoverable on the new site. In addition to making both physical and digitised works available in search, this also includes support for non-bibliographic resources such as journals and electronic resources. Doing this work will give researchers confidence that they can search using the Collection site instead of the Library site, in the knowledge that they are still searching across the entire collection.

Objective
