New Hub: Elsevier Sciverse brings together Sciencedirect and Scopus

As previously announced, Elsevier’s Scopus and Sciencedirect products have been merged under a common hub called Sciverse. The migration went well and both products are fully working. However the new additional Sciverse functions will only be rolled out on the 22nd September. Until then, all links pointing to the “sciverse.com” domain, for example the “Hub” link, will throw an error message. If you want to know more about the forthcoming functionality of Sciverse, please consult acceleratescience.com.

JSTOR 2nd interface update. 2 September

On August 21, 2010, JSTOR released a new interface.  One feature of this new interface, the ability for any user to submit a search against all JSTOR content, drew strong reactions from many in the library community.  The key concern expressed was that JSTOR users at participating institutions with a subset of JSTOR collections could get search results pointing to content they could not access, and that JSTOR had not yet enabled OpenURL (This service is called “Find It!” at Consortium Luxembourg) for all articles, making it difficult for libraries to use link resolvers to re-direct users to other copies of the articles that might be available to them.

In response, JSTOR will issue an update to the interface changes released in August. This update is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, September 2. Beginning tomorrow, the default option for authenticated users on all search forms will be to search licensed content only. Authenticated users include users on campus or users logged in via a remote access option. Our reason for taking this step is to reduce any potential frustration for authenticated users until we can extend support for OpenURL linking throughout the platform, at which point librarians will be able to direct their users to alternative options for accessing content not licensed through JSTOR.

GR Atlas accessible à partir du portail

Le GR-Atlas, un atlas interactif de la “Grande Région”, est désormais accessible via le portail du Consortium Luxembourg sous l’intitulé “Base de données” sous la lettre “G”.

Il est disponible en français et allemand.
