Writing about web page http://webcat.warwick.ac.uk/record=b1774411~S15

Computing Reviews will now show you Web Bridge buttons in your search results so that you can check for full text of the item being reviewed through Warwick Library holdings.

So if you read a great review of a book or article in Computing Reviews, you can see if we hold that book or article in Warwick Library.

Look for the Web Bridge button:
