TDNet Update:

Additions:

Biology of Reproduction (BioOne)

Photochemistry and Photobiology (BioOne)


Removed:

Journal of Neuropathy and Experimental Neurology

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery. (Wiley) - We no longer have access to this item; as it is part of a collection, I will be sending our full collection list to TDNet for update when the list is complete.


Coverage Updates:

Physiology (Publisher) coverage updated to show 1998-present - older coverage is now a pay item.

Journal of Clinical Oncology (Highwire-Free Full Text) coverage updated to show 1999- 11/2005


Note on Coverage Updates:

I have noticed that an increasing number of our journals, particularly those that we have had free access to in the past, are putting in place something called a "Legacy Archive." This is a pay item which effectively removes the access to older content, which has become a pay item. TDNet obtains coverage information from the publishers, but I've begun to notice that the coverage that they are putting includes all content that is available online, not taking into account that increasingly the older content is becoming an item we pay for.


Other:

TOUR, our TDNet OpenURL Link Resolver, is now active for Cochrane Database.

AccessSurgery - IP access to this resource should be restored now.

Elsevier Freedom Collection:

Previously, with Science Direct, we maintained a Unique Title List that we could log in to with our username/password to access titles that other NAAL libraries subscribed to. With the Freedom Collection, we no longer have to use usernames & passwords to access this content. I'm attaching an explanation from our Science Direct Rep, Kenyatte Baylor.

Hi Michael,
Please find a brief description of the Freedom Collection and how it differs from the older Unique Title List model. I have also attached a list of your Elsevier account team for your convenience. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of additional assistance.
The Freedom Collection is available to ScienceDirect Complete customers only (academic). It offers the chance to get access to all non- subscribed Elsevier journal content at a significantly reduced rate.
This is an access only model and starts from the date of your existing ScienceDirect subscription, with a minimum of four backfile years plus the current year building. Your access is cumulative as long as you renew your license and subscription to the Freedom Collection. Freedom Collection offers no continued access rights for material that was not previously fully subscribed to, if you cancel your ScienceDirect license.
You are not required to enter any additional ID/Password to access the Freedom Collection through Science Direct.
The above mentioned Freedom Collection has largely replaced Unique Title List (UTL) because it will alleviate most title gaps. The UTL model allowed members of a consortium cross access of subscribed titles and in some cases required additional logins.
