Scopus Search Problems From Off-Campus

Hi All,

We are currently experiencing problems with searching Scopus when logged in via Shibboleth from off-campus. We can search and are told how many results have been found, but we are unable to view the results, which isn't much use!

I've contacted Elsevier about this and they say that we aren't the only institution with this problem and they are working on this as a priority, so I hope it will be fixed soon.

In the meantime if you get anyone who needs to search Scopus from off-campus they are still able to do this via the Remote Desktop/Thin Client connection (see ITS instructions about how to do this on their Location Independent Working page that is linked to from their CU Portal page).

Another option is just to login to the eLibrary and do a CrossSearch of Scopus as you will be able to see the results from within the eLibrary.

Thanks,

James.
