The Master List will be maintained by UKMI on the MiDatabank web-site. Future editions of MiDatabank will contain a feature to update the Sources Master List from the MiDatabank web-site.


How can I update the sources list when a new edition comes out?
top

Important Note: When a new edition of an existing source is released, this should be treated as a new source. For example, when a new editon of BNF is released, you should not modify your existing BNF, but you should create a new source and then add it to your centre (you might also want to remove the old edition from your centre if this is no longer being used). The only time that you should modify an existing resource is if a URL changes or if there is a typo that needs fixing.

You can create a new source as follows:

Select Administration>Sources Master List>New Source.
Add in the details of the information source and select Create.

and add this source to the list of resources available at your centre:

Select Administration>MI Centres Resources>Resources>Choose Sources from Master List.
Check the box for the new source you have added and uncheck the box for the old edition.
