ScienceDirect - abstract has "order pdf" instead of full text

Hi all,

Sometimes you might follow library links to article full text and end up on an article abstract page that says Order PDF instead of actually having a pdf:

If you're seeing this when you followed a path from the UNCG libraries website, then it's an example of a pay per view service.  The libraries don't subscribe to this journal.  When a student or employee needs an article, they enter their name and UNCG email address and the pdf will be purchased and sent to them.  The student/employee asking for the article isn't charged.

For example, if a student asks for this article - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjmed.2014.01.001 - they should follow this process:

1. Use a University Libraries system to navigate full text.  For instance, paste the article title into WorldCat Discovery, the red search box.  

2. When you see the article record - https://uncg.on.worldcat.org/oclc/5902248064 - click the View full text button

3. In the Science Direct database, click the article title to see the abstract which will have an "order pdf" button instead of a pdf

4. Enter name and UNCG email

5. When the article full text is ready, typically within 24 hours on a weekday, the student will get it through email

There's a little information on Science Direct PPV and Article Galaxy PPV on the library guide to WorldCat Discovery.

Thanks,

Lea

CINAHL is giving a certificate error

 Hi all,

Library links are giving a certificate error when you try to log into CINAHL.  Brown has been working on this and Marcie should be able to fix the links later.

For now, here are various options for getting people into CINAHL:

a. If there's an Advanced button or a way to bypass the warning, be brave and just click through the unsafe warning to get into CINAHL

b. Get into CINAHL from a different Ebsco database, such as Academic Search Complete. Above the search boxes there's a Choose databases link that you can use to select CINAHL:

c. Use this URL: https://login.libproxy.uncg.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&custid=s9268655&profile=ehost&defaultdb=ccm&groupid=main

Why am I posting this on a blog, when the problem will likely already be resolved before you read the post?  Brown, one of our intrepid IT people, says we're likely to see more errors like this as library links are transitioned from on-campus proxy to the NC LIVE proxy.  I think it could be helpful to see an example of how to work through a situation like this.

Cheers,

Lea

Banned Books Table

 Yes, any books from the Banned Books table are allowed to be checked out! (just in case anyone asks 😀)

Adobe Programs like Photoshop and Illustrator available on library computers (some steps required)

Adobe Creative Cloud is available on library computers now, not just computer lab machines.

Please note, however, that commonly asked about programs that are in the suite, such as Photoshop or Illustrator, are "available" but not installed yet. Students, faculty and staff will need to open the Adobe Creative suite from the list of Windows applications, then download the specific programs separately. Directions below (click images to enlarge):

1. Locate ACC

2. Sign into Microsoft through UNCG credentials (click View more for additional logins)

3. Adobe will verify your credentials as a separate login as well.

4. Return to Creative Cloud and install the desired program.
