Academic Search Complete & SFX

Hi All,

There is currently a problem with Academic Search Complete e-journals within SFX. It appears that the SFX update before Christmas removed all the embargo information from these journals. This means that you no longer get the document supply SFX screen when trying to link to articles that should be embargoed. The only way to check the embargo information for now is by looking on the journal publication screen within ASC.

Sandy has asked Paul to contact Ex Libris about this, so we hope they will be able to resolve this problem for us.

Thanks,

James.

Hi Again,

It appears that all the table of contents information available in ASC has been interpreted as full-text availability by the latest SFX update. This means that as well as embargoes being ignored, wherever we only have access to a title/abstract record in ASC SFX is showing that we have access to the full-text.

This is a general problem that is being experienced by all users of ASC and SFX, so hopefully Ex Libris will resolve it quickly.

James.
