AnthroSource full text searching temporarily limited

The USC Library uses Article Linker to find full text within AnthroSource. Recently, AnthroSource changed their linking syntax and Article Linker's connection to AnthroSource was broken. Article Linker's technical staff has pinpointed the problem and are working to update this connection. In the meantime, Article Linker has shut off the connection and patrons will not see issue or article-level links to AnthroSource within Article Linker.

Article Linker will follow up with the USC Libraries when they have completed the update. If you have any questions please email Library Support at clients@serialssolutions.com.

ScienceDirect system downtime, Sat., Mar. 11th

ScienceDirect (but not Scopus) will be unavailable for a planned period of downtime on Sunday, March 11, 2007 for approximately 7 hours starting at 01:00 AM EST (06:00 AM GMT). This is to adjust the system to take account the change to Daylight Saving Time in the United States. We hope that by providing this advance notice we can help minimise any inconvenience to you and to your ScienceDirect users.

The system was successfully upgraded last Saturday. Our technical team is working as hard as they possibly can to eliminate the unforeseen difficulties which some of our customers have experienced since in accessing ScienceDirect and Scopus. We apologise to those customers who have been affected by these difficulties.
