Open access journal not available

Problem: A faculty member called looking for an article in the Feb. 2008 issue of the journal, "Bonekey." Our record, b2044164, says it is available from DOAJ, but the website requires a subscription or username & password even from on campus.

Assigned to: EJ
Priority: medium
Status: in progress

Troubleshooting notes:
12/20/08 After you select the full text link for an article, a confusing page comes up that implies you need a subscription to access. However, if you click on "SIGN UP subscribe to this journal", you can register and then you have free access to the full text. It didn't work immediately, but when I tried two days later, I was able to get the full text. ej
12/21/08 Added a public note in Ser Sol: "Sign up to get free access" ej
12/18/08 - Confirmed for off campus as well.
