Microsoft has withdrawn the Windows Live Academic search engine, which LLR had configured to work with SFX (allowing customers to connect from Windows Live Academic search results to SFX services). LLR’s SFX support material for this service will be withdrawn shortly.
Category: Withdrawn resources
Withdrawn resource: Lexis Nexis Professional
The Lexis Nexis Professional service has now been absorbed with Lexis Nexis Butterworths. As a consequence, configurations for Lexis Nexis Professional have now been withdrawn from eSearch and SFX.
Withdrawn resource: CareData
The listing for the CareData service (which has been superceded by Social Care Online) has been withdrawn from the subject web portal.
Withdrawn resources: Standalone CD-ROMs
Following an ALT review of the Brackenhurst and Clifton legacy standalone CD-ROMs, the following titles have been removed from the workstations and all listings for these resources have been withdrawn from LLR’s resource discovery environment:
- Animal Handling and Restraint (Brackenhurst)
- Canis (Brackenhurst) [web version to be trialed]
- Cinemascope (Clifton)
- Das KLG auf CD-ROM (Clifton)
- Enciclopedia de cine Espanol (Clifton)
- English Civil War (Clifton)
- Equus (Brackenhurst) [web version to be trialed]
- Freshney’s Culture of Animal Cells (Brackenhurst)
- Horse’s Foot (Brackenhurst)
- Microsoft Dogs (Brackenhurst)
- Poisonous Fungi in Britain and Ireland (Brackenhurst)
- Poisonous Plants in Britain and Ireland (Brackenhurst)
- Rat: a functional anatomy, The (Brackenhurst)
- Reptiles and Amphibians CD Atlas (Brackenhurst)
- Safefood Process Design and Library, The (Brackenhurst)
- Upper Airway Examination of the Horse (Brackenhurst)
- Wheat Management for Autumn (Brackenhurst)
- World Atlas, The (Brackenhurst)
Following on from the withdrawal of similar format titles at Boots, there are now no standalone CD-ROMs on dedicated workstations at any of the three campus libraries. It is planned to make Equus and Canis available via a new web service from selected terminals at Brackenhurst Library, subject to a successful temporary trial – more details in due course.
Withdrawn resource: current issue access to New Scientist
The offer of temporary free full-text access to the current issues of New Scientist (as they were published, between August and December of 2006) has now concluded on the Science Direct platform. This listing has therefore been withdrawn from SFX. Full-text access to all issues from 2002 onwards continues to be available via Academic Search Elite (but with a one-month publisher embargo).
Withdrawn resource: Future Drugs and Future Medicine ejournals
The temporary free access offer to the ejournals titles published by Future Drugs and Future Medicine has now concluded, and full-text access is now only available by subscription. As a result, listings for all the titles in these collections have been withdrawn from SFX. The titles will disappear from the eSearch ejournals list at the next update.
