Anatomy TV (from Primal Pictures) - Training

Training: Anatomy TV (from Primal Pictures) - teaching tool

Trainer: resource developers, Primal Pictures

Date: Thursday, November 11^th

Time: 2:00pm

Venue: North Training Room

The session will be aimed at academic staff. If you could like to attend, please contact Arlene Healy

Description:

New Library subscription: Anatomy TV

This teaching tool provides medically accurate 3D models of the human anatomy. The representation of the body is derived from medical scan data that has been interpreted by a team of Primal anatomists and then translated into three-dimensional images by graphics specialists. The anatomy visuals are accompanied by 3D animations that demonstrate function, biomechanics and surgical procedures. The resource also provides clinical videos and text to supplement the core anatomy data.

You can access Anatomy TV from the New Resources section of the Library database webpage. There's also a “How To” guide .

TCD Library’s 12 month subscription provides access to the Anatomy Plus Platinum Package, including the Dentistry module, ensuring this valuable teaching tool benefits as many academic departments as possible.

We aim to assess usage levels and relevancy to TCD academic programmes prior to a renewal of the subscription in late 2011.

State Papers Online - new resource from Cengage

State Papers Online: the Government of Britain 1509-1714

TCD Library has recently purchased Parts II and III of State Papers Online from the provider, Gale: Cengage Learning, the provider of many of the History databases which may be accessed by Trinity College researchers and students.

A Royal Warrant to the Lords Justice of Ireland, sent from Hampton Court in May 1700 concerns Edward Geoghegan, of Castletown, Co. Westmeath, a man who had never been employed under the late king James, and had always shewed kindness to his protestant neighbours. An earlier letter, (1696), was to have reversed accusations of outlawries against Geoghegan. However, as he being in the letter styled gentleman, and in the record esquire [...] he could not receive the benefit of our letter. The 1700 warrant was intended to correct the earlier mistake and to secure a free pardon for Edward Geoghegan, esquire. (State Papers Online Part III: The Stuarts and Commonwealth, James I - Anne I, 1603-1714: State Papers Domestic)

TCD Library has had State Papers Online Part I: The Tudors, 1509-1603 : Domestic since 2008. State Papers Online Part II, The Tudors, 1509-1603: State Papers Foreign, Scotland, Borders, Ireland and Registers of the Privy Council completes the papers of the Government of Britain for the Tudor period. Dr S. Alford of the University of Cambridge writes that these two parts give us practically all the sources we need to investigate the government of the Tudor kings and queens in microscopic detail.

The three parts of State Papers Online purchased by the Library, may be consulted via the usual catalogue record for the State Papers Online Part 1 and via the New Resources tab on the Library’s website.

New resources

There have been several new online resources added to the Library in the last week. Please check the NEW RESOURCES tab on the Databases and E-Books section of the Library website. New online resources appear here FIRST. Marc records are added to the Library catalogue later by Collection Management.

Wilson's OmniFile Full Text Mega

A note on OmniFile Full Text Mega on WilsonWeb.

The OmniFile contains indexing, abstracting databases and a certain amount of full text. The TCD link resolver is also on WilsonWeb, and links to other full text resources held by the Library if the full text isn’t in the OmniFile.

Omnifile Full Text, Mega Edition features all the content of these full-text databases as well the full runs of every full-text journal they index.

[However, please note, there are indexes within these databases which may not have corresponding full text within the database, for example in cases where a journal is not available electronically. In these cases, the TCD link resolver will lead from WilsonWeb to the Library catalogue for paper copies, where available.]:

Education
General Science
Humanities
Readers' Guide
Social Sciences
Wilson Business

For example: Social Sciences Full Text includes the Social Science Index: http://www.hwwilson.com/Databases/socsci.cfm
Social Sciences Index: This database delivers the same indexing offered in Social Sciences Full Text but SSI itself has no abstracts or links to full text articles.
TCD has access to [within the Wilson Omnifile full text mega] Social Sciences Full Text [Sept. 2010] and so has access to abstracts and links to full text articles in addition to the original Social Sciences Index.


OmniFile Full Text Mega on WilsonWeb also contains the full text from ONLY the journals in selected databases to which Wilson has full text rights, namely
Applied Science & Technology Full Text
Art Full Text
Biological & Agricultural Index Plus
Index to Legal Periodicals Full Text
Library Literature & Information Science Full Text


Some features of OmniFile' Social Sciences database [Sept. 2010]:
§ High quality indexing of over 625 periodicals as far back as 1983, nearly 400 of which are peer-reviewed.
§ Full text of articles from some 215 journals as far back as 1995.
§ Visit Journal Directory for a searchable list of the journals covered.

Loss of access to ScienceDirect

Latest on loss of access to ScienceDirect:

Elsevier's E-Helpdesk at 15:02 British Summer Time, 25 August 2010.

"Our system engineers are aware of this and are still investigating the issue; the platform seems to be fairly stable at the moment though there are continuing outages of small periods. I can only advise at this moment that I expect the system to be fully operational again within 3 hours".

RSC - new platform launched

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has just launched the new RSC Publishing platform enabling searches across all RSC-hosted journal, database and book content published from 1841 to the present day, through one simple search.

Portico

Portico

Portico is an electronic archiving service.

A new look for the Wiley, RSC and ProQuest platforms

Several of our suppliers will be changing platforms over the next couple of months:

Wiley Online Library:
The target launch period for Wiley Online Library is over the weekend of Saturday, July 24th and Sunday, July 25th 2010. ***This has now been postponed until the weekend of 7–8 August 2010.
Wiley will confirm when Wiley InterScience will be taken down and when Wiley Online Library will be put up nearer to this target launch date. Wiley Online Library will completely replace Wiley InterScience.

News, training and screen shots of the new platform can be found here.

RSC, The Royal Society of Chemistry:
*July 27th 2010** – RSC Publishing platform will be launched*

All dynamic links to content will be set to resolve to the new platform*

The RSC Publishing platform and the old website will run in parallel to give time to highlight any broken links and amend as necessary

ProQuest:
No date confirmed for launch. Before end 2010.

The amalgamation of several companies, including Chadwyck-Healey and CSA with ProQuest has meant that several different platforms are used for the ProQuest resources. A project has been in place in ProQuest over the past year to produce a new platform for these resources. This is due to be available before the end of 2010.

Some resources will not be added to the new platform immediately, the plan is to migrate them in 2011: for example: EEBO, LION, House of Commons Parliamentary Papers.

RSC : new platform to be launched

RSC Publishing is about to launch a new platform on July 27th 2010, which, it is promised, will provide powerful, fast access to journals, books and databases. Both platforms will be available in parallel for a time, until any issues arising from the changeover are resolved.

The reader will be able to search across 977,589 articles using one simple interface and refine the results through intuitive filters.

* All dynamic links to content will be set to resolve to the new platform.

Further details to be posted when platform changes.

Knovel - Training

You are invited to attend a training session on Knovel, provided by the vendor.

If you would like to attend please contact Arlene to book a place.

Date: Thursday, February 18th, 2010
Time: 2.30pm - 4.00pm
Venue: North Training Room
Session suitable for: Any staff dealing with users and their reference queries

TCD Library began an annual subscription to Knovel, an e-book collection aimed at engineers and scientists, on October 1, 2009. The subscription provides full access to the 20 subject sections (over 1,800 titles) in the Knovel collection (excluding the Premium Content). In addition, TCD Library subscribed to both Transportation AND Industrial Engineering and Operations Management.

This is one of our largest aggregated collection of e-books serving the needs of staff and students and contains interesting value-added features.

The Knovel trainer will provide an introduction to the content coverage, how to browse, search and use the personalisation feature, My Knovel. Knovel enables users to extract data from the books for further analysis and the session will focus further on Knovel’s data analysis tools.

This database of e-books can be accessed from the Library's databases page at present. Records for the books will be uploaded into the catalogue in due course.

February 2010- Access to IReL funded e-resources

Update

ALL of the IReL agreements expired on December 31st and most of the publishers/vendors provided us with informal extensions of contract (i.e. access to the resources) pending negotiations of new contracts.

Notice of the allocation of IReL funding was received from the HEA a number of days ago (end of January) allowing negotiations of IReL subscriptions to commence. As around 100 separate agreements must be negotiated, it is unlikely that agreements will be finalised in all cases before the end of the informal extensions. As a result, there will be interruptions in accessing IReL journals and databases. The Library regrets any such loss of access and every effort is being made by the negotiating agents, the IReL office and the IReL Steering group to expedite this process.

In the meantime, it is not possible to supply a list of resources where grace periods have expired as we don't know which ones are affected until we lose access. Catalogue records have not been amended yet to reflect the resources’ changes of status. We will update you if this happens.

If you become aware of loss of access to a resource it is important that you inform Arlene (ccing Clíona)

At the moment we know that the grace periods for the following have expired
BMJ journals
Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy

The IReL office is investigating if these can be 'switched on' while negotiations are ongoing.
Please continue to contact Arlene/Clíona if you have any queries.
