Portico

Portico

Portico is an electronic archiving service. Portico provides all libraries supporting the archive with campus-wide access to archived content when specific trigger events occur and when titles are no longer available from the publisher or other sources. Portico preserves scholarly literature published in electronic form and ensures that these materials remain accessible.

Subjects: General
Content: Full text

The IReL subscription to the SPIE Digital Library has been discontinued (see IReL website). The SPIE journal titles available on Portico have being added to the A-Z listing: Journal of Applied Remote Sensing; Optical Engineering Journal; Proceedings of the SPIE (or The SPIE Conference Proceedings Series). Catalogue records will be created which will redirect to titles archived on Portico. The link to Portico (also available on the New Resources page of the Library website) gives a title-listing and access to all available journals on that service.

Please check New Resources regularly for updates on new database titles.

IReL discontinued journals

Please note, some of the journal titles on the discontinued list are available on the Academic Search Complete platform, so the reader will still have a certain amount of access, although there will be an embargo on the most recent 12 months of the journal. For example: Reviews in Mathematical Physics (WorldSciNet) - available on Academic Search Premier (now Complete) from 1999 onwards; Journal of the Acoustical Society of America - ASComplete, 2005- . Embargo, again, on most recent 12 months.

IReL funded e-resources: Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Access available

Further to the February message re Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy - IReL subscription renewed. ACCESS has become available again.

IReL funded e-resources: discontinued e-resources

This list of DISCONTINUED resources supersedes all previous notes on cancellations. **NB Check IReL site. List of resources (both renewed and discontinued subscriptions) for final list of reinstated and discontinued resources.

Some of the titles were available on several platforms, so the reader should still have access, for example, Reviews in Mathematical Physics (WorldSciNet) - available on Academic Search Premier (now Complete) from 1999 onwards.

Wiley InterScience - IReL renewed subscription - some changes

Introduced in 1997, Wiley InterScience incorporates, since June 2008, the online content formerly hosted on Blackwell Synergy, to provide access to over 3 million articles across 1400 journals.

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.

SpringerLINK - some general information

SpringerLINK full text of 1336 ejournals and some eBooks.

Through an IReL (Irish Research eLibrary) subscription, Trinity College Library has access to the full text of 1336 electronic journals on the SpringerLINK database platform. These ejournals cover the fields of biomedicine, life science, clinical medicine, physics, engineering, mathematics, computer science, humanities and economics. Kluwer Academic journals are now part of this package; however Brill Academic Publisher is not.

In general, with the exception of the book series, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, the eBooks on SpringerLINK do not form part of the IReL subscription and are not available to TCD users.

Of the top four most-used journals in TCD on SpringerLINK during the last year, only one is in the TCD print collection. However, all ejournals might be available through other Library database platforms. For example, the most used ejournal: Jrnl of Autism and Developmental Disorders is on Academic Search Premier : 1993 to present (Embargo: 1 year), ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source : 1997 to present (Embargo: 1 year) and SpringerLINK : 1997 to present .

SpringerLINK generally does not have an embargo on the most recent issues, unlike the other two platforms mentioned, although its coverage may not encompass an equivalent number of years.

An individual user can register from within TCD’s account (that is, from where you can see the database by finding it through the Library system) and this allows the use of features such as RSS feeds and favourites linking. Downloads are free for the journals to which TCD Library subscribes, but if other items outside our subscriptions are found, these can be purchased from SpringerLINK via your personalized homepage. To avoid paying twice for the one resource, a user should check first however, that the required item is not already available through the Library from another supplier.

Springer is developing a new, more user-friendly interface at the moment and plan to launch this in 2010. A feature of this new interface will be a facility to search by Citations which should be a useful tool for all researchers.

TCD Library databases can be reached from the main Library Web page under Databases & E-Books or by searching the catalogue for the Database name or the journal title.

JSTOR – Scholarly Journal archives

JSTOR provides a digital archive of scholarly journals (complete runs of journals, select monographs, transactions and conference proceedings), both in multidisciplinary and in discipline-specific collections.

Via IReL (the Irish Research eLibrary), TCD Library has access to the JSTOR collections: the Ireland Collection (nearing completion), the Arts and Sciences I to VII, the Life Sciences Collection, Public Health Reports and, temporarily, the 19th Century British Pamphlets.

The JSTOR Arts and Sciences Collection consists of seven parts. Arts and Sciences I began with supplying the archives of core journals in economics, history, political science, and sociology and also provides titles in ecology, mathematics, and statistics. The next group, Arts and Sciences II adds to the collections in I. Group III introduces languages and literature, IV focusses on Business, Education and Law and Group V, VI and VII build on all that has gone before. There are between 100 and 150 titles in each group.

The Ireland Collection has titles and resources across the arts, humanities and sciences. A recent addition to the JSTOR Ireland Collection has been, The Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy. TCD library keeps the hardcopy of the Transactions in Early Printed Books stacks; 33 volumes, covering 1787 to 1907. Through the database, Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO), TCD readers have online access to the 7 volumes of the Transactions published in the Eighteenth century. With JSTOR, there is online access to the full run.

It is important to note that JSTOR is an archive. It will not provide access to current journals. There is a “moving wall" with most titles, that is, a time-lapse between the last issue available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal. It is usually between three to five years. For example, JSTOR has now uploaded the archives of the RIA’s Ériu, covering the years 1904 - 2005 (Vols. 1 - 55). The moving wall here is three years. The Library has the current (Vol. 58, 2008) issue in hard copy.

The archive is being added to continually. A full list of JSTOR titles and collections can be accessed from JSTOR's Collections at your institution page under Resources for Librarians on the JSTOR website. The journal titles may also be found through the TCD Library website's list of ejournals or easy access to the full JSTOR collection is on the Library's website under Information Resources: Databases: J.

19th Century British Pamphlets Project

The 19th Century British Pamphlets collection is now freely accessible to all JSTOR participating institutions until June 30, 2009. There will be regular releases of additional material during this pamphlet trial period.

Initial release of pamphlets from the 19th Century British Pamphlets Project: c8,200 pamphlets were added to JSTOR [Feb 2, 2009], including portions of the Knowsley Pamphlet Collection (University of Liverpool), Cowen Tracts (Newcastle University), and the Hume Tracts (University College London).

*19th Century British Pamphlets – Project Overview*
More than 20,000 19th Century British pamphlets will be added to the JSTOR archive as part of this project. This collection of materials was created to provide researchers with online access to some of the most significant collections of pamphlets held in UK institutions. All pamphlets are being digitized within the University of Southampton Library's specialist BOPCRIS digitization facility.

See JSTOR and JISC for more information. See also the IReL website, News section
