Preview upgrades to EBSCO
Dear EBSCO Customer,
Thank you for the positive excitement surrounding our new EBSCOhost release, which we announced at ALA midwinter. Highlights of this release include our new Clustering of results sort option, a graphically-rich Visual Search mode, Alerts in RSS Feeds, as well as Database Groupings by Subjects. In response to requests from many of you, we are pleased to provide you with the opportunity to preview the upcoming EBSCOhost enhancements over the next several days, all of which will be fully released in the coming weeks.
The preview includes two links for your review: one will connect you to a sample profile that has the Database Groupings by Subject feature turned on. The second link will connect you to a profile that does NOT have that feature enabled. Once the features have been released, you will have options as to how you display and utilize them. For a review of the key features of this release, click here. Note: You will be previewing a BETA of the upcoming release, which can sometimes exhibit stability variances.
To Preview the new features:
* Click on this link to access a sample profile of all key software enhancements, including the Database Groupings by Subject feature. Database Groupings can be presented in the database drop-down list, if opted by the library administrator, to offer users groupings of databases sorted by popular subjects, such as technology, business, medical science, psychology or education.
* Click on this link for access to a sample profile of all key software enhancements, with the Database Groupings by Subject feature turned off:

Link added for netLibrary collection
Susan Beatty pointed out that the main entry for netLibrary in the catalogue did not have a link.
Thanks to BibServices for adding this link which makes it possible to search our entire suite of netLibrary titles simultaneously.
http://ezproxy.lib.ucalgary.ca:2048/login?url=http://www.netlibrary.com
Note this collection contains access to many titles purchase by other COPPUL libraries under our consortial agreement. I've attached a file of titles and UofC use for the phase2 collection to give you an idea of how large our netLibrary collection is becoming under this arrangement.
Again with the marc, this is something we hope to see move ahead. We are discussing moving away from a one record policy with netLibrary--where the url would be added to any existing print record, and simply loading records directly. This will mean duplication of entries in the catalogue, but it will also mean we will be able to get the records into the system.

New Product Announcement-->Gale Virtual Reference Library
Gale Virtual Reference Library
A new addition to our e-reference collection, this one is a selection of about 100 titles from the Gale catalogue. Basic reference materials, searchable individually or as a group.
Individual catalogue records...these will be a problem as the records from GALE will need some work. When asked priority for GVRL, I put them below titles like Past Masters or netLibrary because people usually don't use the catalogue to find reference works, while for the other packages the catalogue is a critical access point.

Factiva records in catalogue
BibServices has loaded the individual title records for Factiva into the catalogue from Serials Solutions. You can see them by searching under "Factiva" in the catalogue.
Factiva lists 4900 sources, of these Serials Solutions was able to provide 2163 records. However, a quick check of the sources without records didn't reveal any really problematic gaps--ie the Wall Street Journal and the Globe and Mail have records.
One problem with Factiva is that it won't provide a link that will take the user directly to the journal. So even if you link from the catalogue you will only get as far as the Factiva start page. But we decided it was better to have the links with this problem then to not have any links.
Yes we know that Canadian Periodical Index still shows as having current holdings for G&M even though it doesn't. This is something we keep trying to get followup for, but BibServices hasn't had any luck getting the issue resolved to date. We'll keep trying.

New Linking Function in JSTOR
A nifty feature and good to know about. It lets the user link from references to the referenced item, as long as it is in JSTOR also.
Dear JSTOR Participant:
We are pleased to present you with an opportunity to preview JSTOR's new reference linking functionality. The new reference linking feature will enable JSTOR users to follow a link from a reference in an article directly to the cited article. At this time, the reference linking capability is internal - links are currently available only between journals archived in JSTOR. In the future, we expect to provide reference links to content external to the JSTOR archive.
For more details about this reference linking preview, and to view articles that contain reference links, please see the preview information page at:
http://www.jstor.org/about/reference_linking/reflinking.html
The preview site is open to all JSTOR users and will be available for approximately 8 weeks. JSTOR plans to incorporate user feedback prior to the public release which is scheduled for the first quarter of 2006. Today, approximately 12,000 links are available from a small number of journals, and we will continue to add to the available links during the preview and throughout the coming months until all citations in the archive have been captured.
We encourage you to contact us with your comments about the reference linking feature. A special feedback survey form is linked to the preview information page, but you may also contact us via support@jstor.org if you have any questions.
