SFX/Find e-Journal via Wireless Network

Hi Everyone,

There is currently a problem for users trying to access SFX or Find e-Journal within MetaLib from the wireless network. It appears that this is to do with ITS tightening up the security of the wireless network, resulting in access to the SFX port being denied.

A request has been made for ITS to open this port and we hope that this will be done shortly. Until this has been done users will be unable to access SFX or Find e-Journal on the wireless network.

eLibrary Find e-Journal

Hi Everyone,

Paul is currently doing some work on the Find e-Journal area of the eLibrary. This will stop the 'Request Failed' message from appearing when you click on the 'i' button and should speed up the searching a bit. While he's doing the work you may notice the appearance of Find e-Journal changes, as he has to change the look of the out-of-the-box version to match our purple branding. The functionality shouldn't be affected though.

Another change that has been introduced by Ex Libris is the autocomplete option to display potential matches for your search as you type words into the search box. This might be of some help to those users who laboriously type in the whole of a long-winded journal title, as if they see what they are looking for appear they can stop typing and click on it to select it.

Thanks,

James.
