CQ Researcher Is Back

As of this morning, November 8, CQ Researcher is back on track and working as it should be.

CQ Researcher

If you or a patron attempt to use CQ Researcher, you will find that we are getting a screen that reads:

"Log-In Failure  Your subscription has expired."  

Our subscription has not expired, so I've contacted our Ebsco representative about the problem.  She was to contact the publisher today and will let me know as soon as service is restored. 

Ask a Librarian chat/IM is back

TextaLibrarian instant messaging is now enabled on the library's web site. Click the Ask a Librarian IM link on the library home page, the IM link on any EBSCOhost database results page, or go to the Ask a Librarian page to open up a chat window to the Reference Desk.

AccessPharmacy is now available

AccessPharmacy is now on the library's Pharmacy page.

The key feature of AccessPharmacy is the full text of a number of core pharmacy textbooks. AccessPharmacy also contains a lot of other valuable content, such as drug monographs, multimedia presentations, case studies, care plans, diagnostic medical test information, dosage calculators, etc.

This is likely to be a very popular resource, so I recommend trying it out between now and the start of the Fall semester.

New IDIS (aka Iowa Drug) interface

Between now and the start of the Fall semester, please take a few minutes to try out the new IDIS 4.0 interface.

Go to IDIS 4.0 …

INTELECOM Online cancelled

The library's subscription to INTELECOM Online has been cancelled and the links to INTELECOM have been deleted from the library's Video Resources page. INTELECOM was cancelled because of low usage.

EBSCOhost is back

Update (3/28/11, 1:15AM): The EBSCO databases are working again. If you get an authentication error when you try to connect, click this link to reset your EBSCO cookie and then try the database again.

I've posted the cookie reset link under the announcements on the home page.

==============================


As of 8 p.m. EBSCO is still down. I received this message midafternoon:

Due to routine maintenance currently underway, we are experiencing temporary service interruptions for EBSCOhost and EDS users.

We apologize for this inconvenience and assure you that our engineering team is working on this top priority to restore service as soon as possible.
