JSTOR – remote and metasearching suspended in eSearch

Unanticipated changes in the JSTOR XML gateway in recent days have caused problems with remote and metasearching configurations in eSearch. Ex Libris expect to be able to release an updated search configuration shortly, which LLR will apply as soon as it is released. In the meantime, both individual remote and metasearching of JSTOR has been temporarily suspended in eSearch.

JSTOR have also reported late yesterday that the platform is experiencing intermittent problems with Athens authentication, which JSTOR expect to resolve ‘within the next 24 hours’.

LION (Literature Online) – direct links to JSTOR materials

From a list of search results in LION, it is also possible (where certain thresholds are met) to link directly to the full-text of materials held within the JSTOR archive. The direct link to the JSTOR full-text will only appear where material is included as part of NTU’s JSTOR subscription profile – in other words, such links should be relied upon to resolve to the appropriate full-text.

TESOL Quarterly – now available via JSTOR

Full-text archival access to TESOL Quarterly (from 1967 until 2001) is now available via the JSTOR collection. For this reason, it is planned to withdraw the TESOL Quarterly networked CD-ROM (which provides full-text for 1967-2000) in due course – following ALT consultation over timing.
