Ulrich's Serials Analysis System Enhancement Update

CSA is pleased to announce new features and functionality that provide more serials-access information for a library's staff and users. Each of these new features is included for all Ulrichsweb.com accounts, effective immediately:
- Searchable Tables of Contents for More than 24,000 Essential Journals - Copyright Clearance Center Permissions Direct linking - Expanded Product Training Program
Enhanced Tables of Contents
Ulrichsweb.com now provides users with searchable tables of contents for more than 24,000 of the world's leading academic and scholarly journals, including the top requested titles from the British Library Document Supply Centre. This enhancement makes it possible for librarians, faculty, and students to get an in-depth look at a current issue's tables of contents, or to search the tables of contents of issues as far back as 1993, where available. Simply click the Table of Contents link on the Basic Description tab of an Ulrich's record to view table of contents details. Results may be printed or emailed as individual article citations.
Copyright Clearance Center Permissions Direct linking
Ulrichsweb.com now helps librarians and staff quickly and easily clear copyright permissions through the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) as they search for bibliographic information about journals and other serials. Subscribers with Copyright Clearance Center Permissions Direct accounts can simply select the "Get Permissions" link on the Advertising, Rights & Demographics tab of an Ulrich's record to be automatically directed to the appropriate permission services and search results pages on copyright.com. There is no need to re-enter information or conduct another title search in order to connect.Ulrichsweb.com users who do not utilize Copyright Clearance Center services can still learn which titles are covered, by selecting "CCC" from the Features & Attributes index in either Advanced Search mode or Browse.
Expanded Product Training Program
Complimentary product training is now available to all Ulrichsweb.com subscribers through the CSA Customer Education & Training Program.
