Library Journal

Problem: no access to Library Journal via H.W. Wilson databases (Book Review Digest Plus, etc.)
http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2053614
Assigned to: ej
Priority: high
Status: resolved

Troubleshooting notes:
10/28/08 Most of the articles from LJ are available ft through this database, so we are leaving LJ tracked with this Wilson database. EJ
9/15/08 Unfortunately, it is not possible to untrack individual journals in aggregated databases like WilsonWeb without contacting Serials Solutions. That is more trouble than it is worth, so we will just leave the Wilsonweb links untouched, even though they are spotty fulltext. EJ
9/15/08 The links to LJ are back in the Wilson Databases, but not all articles are available ft, so I think we should consider untracking them from SerSol. See what you think--here's the link to Lj on WilsonWeb: http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/Journals/getIssues.jhtml?sid=HWW:LIB&id=01872 EJ
9/15/08 Mannually removed rows from Sept Coverage load for Library Journal via 3 HW Wilson database (book review digest, education full text, and library literature and information science). DP
8/18/08 Manually removed rows from August Coverage load for Library Journal via 3 HW Wilson database (book review digest, education full text, and library literature and information science). DP
8/7/08 Heard back from SerSol. They will get in touch with Wilson to verify that indeed LJ is no longer avail. through their databases. It may take awhile, but in the meantime, these .c records are suppressed so our users aren't seeing the links. EJ
8/6/08 submitted request to SerSol to take a look at this problem, and remove them from the KnowledgeBase if appropriate. EJ
8/6/08 Suppressed the .c records attached .b20536148 for the 3 HW Wilson database (book review digest, education full text, and library literature and information science). Need to submit request to Serials Solutions to review title from these aggregators. dp
8/6/08 Appears that Library Journal has pulled it's content from H.W. Wilson databases. This is the message whenyou click on the Book Review Digest link:"Because of contractual arrangements with journal publishers, periodicals in this database are subject to change without notice. Copyright 1999 to Present, The H.W.Wilson Company. For any technical questions, please contact Technical Support."
removed the links from SerSol. Should be gone after August coverage load, if we're lucky as today is one day after the cutoff point. EJ
8/6/08 Whoops! Since these are in Aggregator database, we will have to contact SerSol and tell them to remove it.

  1. EJ, Have you heard back from Ser Sol re: Library Journal? Wilson DBs are still in 856. dp

  2. I never heard back from SerSol, and in the meantime, the links to LJ (such as they are) are back in WilsonWeb. See my troubleshooting note. EJ
