Changes to SFX (UC-eLinks) KnowledgeBase

The reports below itemize additions, updates, and deletions to UC-licensed e-journals. With the retirement of the Directory of CDL-Licensed Content in October 2005, these reports are now generated from the SFX (UC-eLinks) KnowledgeBase and are therefore somewhat different than the previous reports. Every effort has been made to implement the recommendations in the spring 2005 survey regarding these reports.

• The CDL-specific report has changes to CDL-licensed content on behalf of campuses (Tier 1 and Tier 2).
• Campus-specific reports include titles managed by both CDL (Tier 1 and Tier 2 resources) and by the individual campus (Tier 3 resources).
• Reports are generated monthly rather than weekly.
• Reports include changes to journals that are activated in UC-eLinks. Reports do not include changes to databases or reference texts; Tier 1 and Tier 2 databases and reference texts will be announced in CDLINFO.
• Reports reflect changes to the bibliographic record rather than each holdings record. "Additions" now means the title was added; "updates" mean that something changed in the record; "deletions" means that the title was deleted.
• Links use an OpenURL rather than a PID. If you see a UC-eLinks service menu window that claims that there are no services activated for that record, it may mean either than you are attempting to access a title that is not held by your campus that reflects your browser's effective IP address, or that the record has been deleted since the generation of the report.
