NEW: Emerald Management Extra 150

The Library have subscribed to an online collection of Emerald journals (mostly business and management but also some engineering titles) for many years now. In that time, Emerald has launched or acquired many new journals but these have not been added to our subscribed collection.

Following a successful bid to the discretionary fund we have now paid for access to the Emerald Management Extra 150 (EMX 150) until the end of 2008. This means that we now have access to over 50 additional Emerald titles.

We will monitor usage of all Emerald journals for the remainder of this year so that we can decide which is the most suitable collection in future years.

More Library Resources Change to EZproxy Login

'Single sign-on' access to most Library e-resources off-campus moves one step closer today. As part of the switch to EZproxy authentication for most Athens authenticated Library resources the following databases have also now been changed to EZproxy authentication:

• Emerald Fulltext
• Cambridge Journals Online
• JSTOR
• ScienceDirect
• Scopus

This should make access to content easier as there will no longer be the need to click on an Athens login link once in the resource. This often caused confusion and meant that users experienced difficulties viewing the full text of articles.

As mentioned earlier today, Business Source Premier has already been switched to EZproxy login.
