| Recent Site Enhancements |
The growth and development of Ulrichsweb.com, Ulrich's Serials Analysis System and Ulrich's Resource Linker are a direct result of the feedback and suggestions of library professionals and Ulrich's users from around the world. Here is a list of some of the most recently added features, functionality and enhancements that are now a part of the Ulrich's products.
Check back periodically, to view the latest updates!
New in 2006
|
| Ulrichsweb.com: Identify Serials that are available via RSS Feed |
| The new “RSS Available” Advanced Search limiter makes it possible for users to identify the growing number of periodicals that are providing headlines, recent issues or other content via RSS (Really Simple Syndication). An RSS feed provides content via XML files that are then read by an RSS reader or web browser. CSA is adding RSS availability data to thousands of individual Ulrich's records so that users can learn about the various frequencies, formats, and providers of these content-delivery feeds. Ulrich's records also display the URL of the RSS feed(s) for the periodical. Users may create their own lists of RSS feed URLs in Ulrichsweb.com, click on the URL to link to the RSS feed, or cut and paste the URL into their preferred RSS reader. |
| Ulrich's Serials Analysis System: New online Tutorials |
| Four new tutorials covering key features of Ulrich's Serials Analysis System have been added to the CSA Customer Education & Training offerings: Getting Started; Your Library Reports; Comparison & Overlap Analysis Reports; and Aggregator Comparison Reports. The tutorials run using Adobe Flash Player and last approximately three minutes each. In addition to narration, each tutorial contains subtitles that may be turned on/off. Whether you are a current subscriber or just interested in learning more about the powerful set of serials evaluation tools that Ulrich's Serials Analysis System provides, you can access the tutorials at http://www.csa.com/e_products/tutorial.php. |
| Ulrich's Resource Linker: More language options, display of library links in Google Scholar, and viewing book reviews from Amazon.com |
| Customers of Ulrich's Resource Linker, CSA's hosted OpenURL link resolver now have the ability to select from among a growing number of language options for the A-to-Z list interface. The current list of language options includes Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, English (US), English (UK), French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and Taiwanese with more soon to follow. Also new is the ability for customers using the Mozilla Firefox web browser to display their library's e-holdings in Google Scholar results. Users of all web browsers may now enable links directly to Amazon.com book reviews from Advanced Search results. For more information about these exciting new Ulrich's Resource Linker enhancements, contact support@proquest.com. |
| Enhanced Tables of Contents |
| Ulrichsweb.com now provides users with searchable tables of contents for more than 24,000 of the world's leading academic and scholarly journals, including the top requested titles from the British Library Document Supply Centre. This enhancement makes it possible for librarians, faculty, and students to get an in-depth look at a current issue's tables of contents, or to search the tables of contents of issues as far back as 1993, where available. Simply click the Table of Contents link on the Basic Description tab of an Ulrich's record to view table of contents details. Results may be printed or emailed as individual article citations. |
Copyright Clearance Center Permissions Direct linking |
Ulrichsweb.com now helps librarians and staff quickly and easily clear copyright permissions through the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) as they search for bibliographic information about journals and other serials. Subscribers with Copyright Clearance Center Permissions Direct accounts can simply select the "Get Permissions" link on the Advertising, Rights & Demographics tab of an Ulrich's record to be automatically directed to the appropriate permission services and search results pages on copyright.com. There is no need to re-enter information or conduct another title search in order to connect. License Administrators can enable this functionality by entering their Copyright Clearance Center username and password on the "Modify Journal Linking" page in the My Account area.
Ulrichsweb.com users who do not utilize Copyright Clearance Center services can still learn which titles are covered, by selecting "CCC" from the Features & Attributes index in either Advanced Search mode or Browse.
