Abstract
This paper looks at Xgrain, a tool developed for cross-searching abstract and indexing services in the JISC Information Environment. Xgrain utilises Athens authentication and allows the user to search resources available to them without needing to know what those resources are in advance. Web, Z39.50 and XML-based interfaces are available. The project also developed reusable, non-Xgrain specific learning and teaching materials on cross-searching and other information research skills.
