CUNY has upgraded its subscription to Business Insights from the Essentials package to the Global package. The database listing has been updated to reflect this change.
Year: 2016
Planned Maintenance on January 25 Will Affect OneSearch, Catalog, and SFX
Between 8:30 am and 11:30 am on Monday, January 25, a number of key library systems will be down or have limited functionality as planned maintenance work is done on local servers:
- the library catalog will be completely down
- SFX, which powers the “Find it @ CUNY” button in databases, will be completely down
- OneSearch will still be searchable, but you won’t be able to:
- get live availability data for books we own
- place holds or requests for books we own
- check your library account
- link to the full text of articles (because this functionality is powered by SFX, which will be down entirely)
Helping Faculty with Bibliometrics
Here’s a great source from the libraries at the University of Michigan to point you in the right direction for assisting faculty with questions about:
- citation analysis for articles and books
- journal impact factors
- journal rankings
- journal acceptance rates
Although we don’t have access to some of the resources the University of Michigan does, the CUNY Graduate Center does (such as Cabell’s and Scopus).
ProQuest, ebrary, and RefWorks Maintenance on January 16
Beginning at 10 pm on January 16 and lasting for up to eight hours (until 6 am on January 17), a number of services from ProQuest will be unavailable as the company does IT upgrades:
- All ProQuest databases
- ebrary
- RefWorks
Credo Reference Temporarily Unavailable
Access to Credo Reference is temporarily unavailable. When we’re able to restore access, I’ll post an update here.
Cancelled Database: LitFinder
The CUNY-wide subscription to LitFinder has ended. Links to the database have been removed from LibGuides.
Catalog experiencing display issues
The catalog is experiencing display issues that seem to be centered around a disconnect between call numbers and the rest of the record (so a call number search for example will not display title information). This is happening both on the public catalog and the GUI. CUNY OLS is investigating. If you find any of these records, please report them to me.
