Viewing news posted by Judy Rieke (click to send e-mail). NIH Public Access PolicyPosted Thursday, February 7, 2008, 11:45 am by Judy Rieke
On December 26, 2007, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2007 (H.R. 2764) was signed and directs the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide public access to its funded research. This new mandate requires researchers funded by NIH to submit their manuscripts to PubMed Central. Scientists who publish in journals that do not submit articles directly to PubMed Central must deposit their manuscripts no later than 12 months after the official date of publication.
Please check this policy information sheet for further details and links to pertinent websites for submission of articles. If you have further questions about the NIH Public Access Policy , please e-mail PublicAccess@nih.gov or contact Judy Rieke, 77-4129 or jrieke@medicine.nodak.edu for assistance.

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.

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.
