Problem: Access dates on the Ebsco EJS interface page are wrong http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b1523356~S0 . We cancelled with Ebsco in 2010 because we have it on the LWW Total Access Collection. Ebsco EJS page says we have 1987-date, which is not correct. We have access from 2004-date from both the LWW link and the EJS link. Because we cancelled, I'm not sure what dates we still have through Ebsco EJS. Can you find out, and have them fix the 1987-date range? Thanks EJ

Troubleshooting notes:
2/25/10 this is a Taylor & Francis journal tracked in SerSol in the database
Taylor & Francis Social Science and Humanities Library. T&F gave SerSol the wrong date coverage (1980-2004; coverage should be 1997-2004) Changed the dates in SerSol; other dates are also wrong, so we need to go through and fix those. ej

Problem: EB reported: For http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2484782~S0
Despite what our bib record link indicates, it appears that material from 2008 & newer is not available. Access to the full text file generates this message:
SORRY - you are not registered as being permitted
online access to the full text of this article

The request was for a 2009 item & I did some random checks on others.

Troubleshooting notes:
2/23/10 This journal changed its name from E-Learning to E-Learning and Digital Content http://www.wwwords.co.uk/elea/content/maincontents.asp
in 2010. It’s an open access journal with an 18 month embargo.

For now, I manually changed the link on the record for E-Learning to “View full text from AERA SIG Communication of Research: 2000 to 18 months ago”.
http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2484782~S0

After the next March load, there will be a new record for E-Learning and Digital Content, with the correct embargo dates. I reported this all to Serials Solutions, and they will make the permanent appropriate changes in the record(s). ej

Problem: wrong date holdings for Ingenta.com, for this journal, bib record http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2051778

Assigned to: EJ
Priority: medium
Status: in progress

Troubleshooting notes:
1/13/09 Auraria has only one year of access to this title on the Ingenta.com platform (not 1948-present), so in Serials Solutions, I changed the date holdings to 2005 only, and removed the EJS link because there is no content on the EJS platform. We have stable access in BioOne from 2000-present. Holdings will show up correctly after Feb coverage load (mid Feb). EJ

Open access journal not available

0 comments
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.

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.

Problem: Ebsco, GRLinker and Gale all say we have fulltext access to current issues of Operations Research (http://132.194.32.30/record=b2055635) when we only seem to have through 2003 through Jstor.

Troubleshooting notes:
12/01/08 There is a 2 year full text embargo on all the Gale & Ebsco databases for this title, with the exception of Gale's Business & Co Resource Ctr which has a 1 year embargo. SerSol calculates the ending dates on titles with embargoes, and the only holdings that is incorrect is for General OneFile. It has a 2 year embargo also, and should have the same ending date (Oct 22, 2006) as the others. With the next coverage load, the ending dates on all of these holdings should change to something like Nov 22, 2006. I'll doublecheck after the December coverage load & if General OneFile is still wrong, I'll contact Serials Solutions. EJ
12/01/08 - A professor was looking for this, pointed them to ILL for access now and to TB for more access in the future.

Haworth - Wrong Coverage Dates

1 comments
Problem:
Our access to Haworth may be working, but do you think we should do anything about the coverage dates? Our coverage dates for our Haworth titles are inaccurate. I think Denise mentioned this in an earlier blog posting too. I remember being told that when Haworth switches over to Taylor & Francis around the end of the year that T&F will apply their "rules" to coverage dates (meaning we should get 1997 - ). Should we just leave the screwy dates as is and hope they will be more accurate when they become T&F? Or do you think we should put in some kind of advisory until then? Here are a couple of examples of screwy coverage dates for Haworth titles:

J. of East West Business
Skyline says 1995 -
Our actual coverage is from 2001 -

J. of Marketing for Higher Education
Skyline says 1988 - 2007
Our actual coverage is 2008 only

Problem: WAT reported to DP. The coverage dates for this title is incorrect. Bib record indicate fulltext access from 2004-present. However from the database Art Full Text, fulltext is really only available from 2005-present. http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2088550

Troubleshooting notes:
7/2/08 Wilsonweb started providing fulltext to this journal in the middle of 2004. V. 30 (1) is not fulltext, but v. 30(2) is fulltext. So the holdings statement (Sept. 01, 2004-) is technically correct. ej
7/1/08 Checked Ser Sol and using default coverage dates. Problem with db or Ser Sol??? DP

Haworth Titles

2 comments
Problem:
KH reported a few problems to me last week. I noticed a couple of them were Haworth titles. These are EJS titles too:

Social Work with Groups
J. of GLBT Family Studies

I'm concerned that more of our Haworth titles don't have access. I've contacted Ebsco & Mozhdeh about this. We have about 60 Haworth titles. They will be part of Taylor & Francis and moving to http://www.informaworld.com/ starting in 2009. I will be cancelling these with Ebsco & we should be getting them direct with T&F.

Assigned to: EJ & DP

8/20/08 In Ser Sol, able to untrack from Ebsco EJS and track in Haworth. Able to access full-text. However, coverage data looks incorrect. DP
8/19/08 Receiving 502 Bad gateway error message. DP
7/31/08 We've given up on the EJS-to-Haworth links, and untracked them in SerSol. We tracked our 54 subs under the Haworth Press Journals. These will show up in Skyline in mid Aug load. EJ

Troubleshooting notes:
6/3/08 Default holdings information is June 1, 1998 – December 2005. Should we contact Ser Sol instead of inputting custom coverage date?

Problem: 5/6/8 GB Laser Physics Letters, http://132.194.32.30/record=b2053448, (from Wiley Interscience) shows full text access to a pdf for current articles but when you try to link it asks for a login and password to see the article, even on campus. Unlike SpringerLink, I can see articles from other Wiley journals.

Summary of solution: 6/2/08 EJ We do not have access to this title, so I untracked it in SerSol. 6/30/08 DP suppressed in catalog. Bib record will be deleted with next coverage load.

Troubleshooting notes:
6/30/08 DP I suppressed title in catalog.
6/2/08 EJ We have a CLERT/GWLA deal for Wiley Interscience journals. We don't have access to all titles in WI (a complicated formula)

Problem: KH reported to DP incorrect coverage information for title via Electronic Collections Online. http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2041903 Coverage is in Serials Solutions as 1919-2007. Should be 1996-2007?

5/6/08 EJ customized coverage dates in SerSol (01/01/1998 - 12/12/2004. Lando cancelled our ECO subs in 2004, probably because we get it through so many other sources, including Wiley Interscience. We have perpetual access via ECO to 1998-2004.

Troubleshooting notes:
5/5/08 EJ and DZ, should we just customize coverage dates? Or let Serials Solutions know? Or do we need to contact ECO? Not sure best way to proceed. DP

Problem: 4/30/08 WAT reported a problem with "garbled" holdings statements on these two FASJ--International journal of obesity http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2082032, and International Journal of Impotence research http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2050546.
Holdings for both bib records in Skyline read: Jan. 01, 1997- le nd, 5 ca
The holdings should read: from 1997 to 5 calendar years ago
Since the user could not interpret the holdings, they were disappointed that they couldn't get full text access.

Status: resolved

Summary of solution: to be determined

Troubleshooting notes:
5/23/08 Confirmed problem fixed with SerSol May coverage load.
5/16/08 Discovered you can edit a "Coverage Spreadsheet Conversion Rules" to account for text like "5 calendar years ago." Should be fixed with next load. DP
5/5/08 It's not the MARC. It's III. This issue came up at a IUG session. The ERM is expecting a date with dd/mm/yy format. It cannot handle text like "5 calendar years ago." I think we should call serials solutions to discuss the best way to handle these types of issues -- enter custom coverage load or ask them to change the way they enter this information. DP
4/30/08 even though I can't download the complete Ser Sol excel spreadsheet (report.csv), I was able to download enough of it so I could look at these two records. In the start date -- end date columns, the dates are correct: 1997 5 calendar years ago translating to "from 1997 to 5 calendar years ago". It looks like a problem with the MARC holdings fields (Lib. has) handling this rather unconventional holdings statement. I need to brush up on my MARC holdings knowledge. I'll take a look at the MARC documentation at http://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/ EJ

Problem: 4/21/08 This journal's record in skyline (http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2042619) indicates full text access via Taylor and Francis from 1979, and via EJS from 1973. But it is not actually accessible. The patron was directed to microfiche for a 1980 article.

Assigned to: EJ

Status: resolved

Summary of solution: 6/30/08. Coverage dates for this T&F journal for the years the Library subscribed to it through Ebsco EJS, have now been changed (1999-2007) on the Ebsco EJS journal list in SerSol. Beginning in 2007/08 we have access through a CU-system/GWLA consortial arrangment, with coverage from 1997-date. EJ

Troubleshooting notes:
6/30/08 updated coverage date in SerSol to 1999-2007. EJ
6/27/08 EJ can you update the coverage date in Ser Sol? It should be 1999-2007. Or should we just remove EJS altogether? DP
6/27/08 Verified T&F dates are correct. DP
5/15/08 Verified EJS access is correct. DZ
5/13/08 DZ can you check on the EJS dbs for this title? Cannot access full text for 1973. Has the link text, but not hyperlinked.
4/21/08 Can't tell if we are supposed to have access and don't, or if the holdings are wrong and we don't really have access. Is there a clue to determining this?

Problem: LTG reported to DP coverage date in .b record is incorrect. http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2052485 Current says Jan. 01, 1981- Mar. 30, 2007. According to Serials Solutions it should be "01/01/1981 - 6 months ago."

Summary of solution: Add "6 months ago" to the Coverage Spreadsheet Conversion Rules in ERM.

Troubleshooting notes:
5/27/08 DP confirmed ERM translating text into a date 6 months ago from today.
5/13/08 Still not fixed. Issue with III not translating text, needs date format (mm/dd/yyyy). Need to research a solution. Same as issue reported in http://aurproblem.blogspot.com/2008/04/freely-accessible-science-journals.html DP
4/17/08 DP confirms correct coverage info is in April ssjreport. Believes this will be fixed with next coverage load, planned for 4/18/08.

EJ customized the url so it goes only to the Cambridge website for the current issues of this title, not also to the archives. After the next load (sometime after April 15), the Skyline record should show just the link to the current. Check Skyline record after the next load EJ http://skyline.cudenver.edu/record=b2134550
