Current Contents No Longer Available Campus WidePosted Thursday, June 21, 2007, 2:56 pm by Judy Rieke
The results of a survey distributed to faculty in 18 academic departments, the Medical School, and to researchers in EERC indicated that the resource is under-utilized campus-wide. The expense of Current Contents prohibits the libraries from funding a subscription to this database in addition to other more widely-utilized electronic resources.
Specifically the reasons include- The results of a survey distributed by the head of collection development in the UND main library to 224 faculty throughout 18 academic departments indicated, at a 10% response rate, a very small number of faculty use or recommend usage of Current Contents.
- The results of the same survey distributed by the librarian at EERC indicated, at a 10% response rate, little usage of Current Contents among researchers.
- The same survey was also distributed at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences with similar results.
- The majority of librarians do not moderately use or promote Current Contents as a resource for students.
- Changes in publishing patterns and technologies make information previously unique to Current Contents readily available through other venues.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this cancellation, please contact Judy Rieke, Assistant Director and Collection Management Librarian at jrieke@medicine.nodak.edu or call 777-4129. If you need assistance with using other databases for your research needs, please contact Barb Knight, Head of Public Services at bknight@medicine.nodak.edu or call 777-3994.

Full text linking service now availablePosted Tuesday, February 20, 2007, 3:34 pm by Theresa Norton
SFX links appear in many of the library's databases as a  button. In other databases it may appear simply as text with the words "Find It" or "Find It@UND". SFX also provides a link to check ODIN, the library's online catalog, for a print version of the journal. If a resource is not available in full text online, you will have an option to request the item through ILLiad, the library's interlibrary loan system. SFX will automatically fill in the necessary citation information on the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan form for you. The ILLiad link will not appear if full text is available online.
The SFX linking service may be used by all University of North Dakota students, staff, residents and faculty (including clinical/community faculty) both on and off campus. You will, however, need to log in to the library's web site using a medicine.nodak.edu e-mail account, a U-Mail account, or remote access account to use the service from off campus. To log in to the library's web site, simply use your full e-mail address as your user name and your e-mail or remote access password as your login password.
More information about SFX is available in the library's FAQ. Please contact the Library of the Health Sciences for help with SFX by calling 701-777-3994 during normal business hours, or by sending an email message to Webmaster or Reference. | |
Possible delays in accessing Nature journalsPosted Tuesday, February 6, 2007, 2:16 pm by Judy Rieke
The nature.com website has had periods of instability over the past few weeks due to an increase in traffic to the site. This has caused
the backend database that manages access to content to stop responding to requests. The nature.com technical team has increased capacity by adding additional web servers and optimizing database queries. We have seen improvements in performance since these changes were made. However, there are still occasional problems during peak traffic times
and additional upgrades are being applied to help stabilize the site.
One of the results of these problems was that site license customers were intermittently not being recognized as subscribers, and receiving an Access message. We apologize for any confusion this has caused.
Please report any reoccurring problems to Judy Rieke and she will report the incidents to the Nature Customer Service Center.
