New resource: IEEE Xplore

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

The IEEE Xplore database, produced by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, has been enabled in Library OneSearch and SFX.

Access to the resource is direct on-campus and by university username and password from off-campus. The resource is described as follows:

Produced by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and its publishing partners, this database delivers full text access to the world’s highest quality technical literature in engineering and technology. This database provides web access to almost 3 million full-text documents from some of the world’s most highly cited publications in electrical engineering, computer science and electronics. Content in IEEE Xplore comprises 151 journals, over 900 conference proceedings and more than 3,400 technical standards. NB: no access is available to ebooks or educational courses.

Individual title level records for IEEE journals, Conference Proceedings, Conference Series, Standards and other materials has been enabled in SFX. Individual title level journal records will be added to the main Library OneSearch index shortly. Article level and other content from the IEEE collection is already discoverable in ‘All’ searches in Library OneSearch.

EmeraldInsight – access problems

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

Technical problems are continuing to affect the EmeraldInsight platform.

Emerald’s technical team report that problems affecting one of the service’s main servers are causing sporadic loss of access to subscription content on the platform. This means that requests from both on-campus and off-campus NTU staff and students to content subscribed to by LLR can be intermittently refused.

Emerald hope to be able to reinstate stable access to full-text subscription content shortly.

Withdrawn resource: Credo Reference

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

The Credo Reference collection of eBook titles has been withdrawn from eSearch following the conclusion of LLR’s subscription to the service. Individual eBook records have also been withdrawn from the Library Catalogue. A small number of titles from the Credo Reference collection which appear on Resource Lists have been purchased outright, and catalogue records for those individual titles have been retained.

Withdrawn resource: Oxford Reference Online (Premium Collection)

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

The Oxford Reference Online (Premium Collection) has been withdrawn from eSearch following the conclusion of LLR’s subscription to the resource. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and the Oxford English Dictionary online have both been retained.

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

The ability to export references direct to RefWorks has been enabled in all Web of Knowledge services. A new RefWorks button appears in all relevant results screens (see example illustration below, from BIOSIS Previews).

The option to export multiple selected records direct to RefWorks is also now available in the ‘Marked List’ features (see illustration below):

Web of Knowledge – remote and metasearch configurations updated

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

The remote and metasearch configurations for Web of Knowledge databases have been updated in eSearch. For the Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation Index, Arts and Humanities Citation Index and BIOSIS Previews, searches now only retrieve record sets from those individual collections. To remote search the whole of the WoK collection in eSearch, select either the Web of Knowledge or Web of Science (with Conference Proceedings) options.

Cambridge University Press journals – off-campus access enabled

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

Off-campus access to subscribed journals on the Cambridge University Press journal platform is now available by university username and password. Prompts in SFX have been updated accordingly. On-campus access continues to be direct.
