And Today in Our e-Library...

Blog moves to Aalto blogs

2011-05-24T16:05:00.001+03:00

From now on e-library blogging will continue at the Aalto blogging site. New posts will no-longer be added to this site.
It is not currently possible to import the old blog posts from this blog to the new one, but that will be done as soon as possible.

CSA databases move to new Proquest platform

2011-05-24T14:25:00.000+03:00

CSA (now a part of Proquest) has previously provided us access to over 60 separate databases, which could all be searched in the Nelli portal. Now these databases have been grouped into 21 larger databases and been moved to the new Proquest platform, which also hosts 12 other databases. These can all be searched through Nelli as well as on the platform.

Wiley Online Library Site Maintenance

2011-05-20T13:57:00.002+03:00

Due to essential site maintenance, access to Wiley Online Library may be interrupted on Saturday - May 21, 2011. The maintenance begins at noon and takes up to two hours.

SPIE Digital Library in use

2011-05-12T11:12:00.000+03:00

We now have full access to the SPIE Digital Library until the end of 2011. The library includes SPIE journals, conference proceedings and ebooks.

The resource can be accessed directly from the link above, but for remote use go through the Nelli portal. You can also search the database in Nelli.

Ellibs e-books now use IP-based authentication

2011-05-11T15:26:00.000+03:00

The Ellibs ebook service now authenticates, like the rest of our e-resources, based on user IP-address. This means that anyone can access the material in the university network and that remote use requires Aalto authentication. The books can no longer be accessed with the login based on Otaniemi library card details, and as that is no longer required, all Aalto members can now access the books.

Nelli portal to Aalto identification on Monday 9 May 2011

2011-05-04T13:46:00.001+03:00

There will be service breaks in Off campus access on Monday 9th of May 2011, as we move to using Aalto indentification in the Nelli-portal. After the change all users with Aalto identification can remotely use the materials through Nelli.

The old MySpace accounts are available until Sunday 8th of May 2011.

Unfortunately the MySpace accounts in Nelli can not be converted from the old to the new user names. Please save the references in your bookshelf to eg. Refworks or some other reference management system. You will need to find and save your preferred databases, journals and alerts again after the new log-in begins.

2011-04-07T14:43:00.001+03:00

There is no more room in the Elsevier workshop and unfortunately no larger lecture halls are available for that time. We will try to arrange another workshop as soon as possible.

Elsevier author workshop

2011-03-28T14:02:00.002+03:00

Elsevier will hold an author workshop from 9-12 on Tuesday, April 12th in lecture hall E in the main building in Otaniemi.

Author Workshops are aimed at young scientists and provide guidelines on how to publish 'A world class paper'. The content of this 2.5 - 3 hrs. lecture includes - among others - the following topics: 'What to do before writing', 'The language of the manuscript', and 'The structure of the manuscript', tips on 'submitting your article' as well as 'plagiarism'. Elsevier is offering this lecture, with the aim to present to interested (junior) scientists and PhD students of ALL disciplines insights how editors and reviewers look at their manuscripts which may help to get their manuscripts accepted in leading international journals.

Please register your attendance to me at mari.aaltonen@tkk.fi.

ITU-R Recommendations now in free use

2011-03-22T14:13:00.000+02:00

The International Telecommunication Union, ITU, has set free access to the standards on radiocommunication (ITU-R). The fulltext recommendations can now be downloaded anywhere, so it is no longer necessary to visit the library to gain access.

Reminder about using Myilibray ebooks

2011-03-11T14:56:00.001+02:00

Note when using MyiLibrary books:
The Myilibrary books are easily locked from use due to suspected breaches of copyright. The following instructions were given to ensure continued use of the books:

Printing: Do not try to print more then copyright allows. The limit is given as you select the Print Multiple Pages function.

Browsing: If you want to move quickly ahead or behind in the book use the Go To Page function or the Table of Contents. Browsing quickly with the Previous and Next functions can cause the book to be locked, as if the pages are turned quicker than they can be looked at automated downloading is suspected. The Previous and Next functions can be used when reading or browsing the book at a reasonable rate.

By abiding by these recommendations we can improve access to these books. Hopefully no more books will be locked right before exams!

Aalto log-in at DawsonEra

2011-03-11T13:59:00.000+02:00

The DawsonEra ebooks are now accessed with Aalto-login. This causes changes in the ebook links in Teemu, but those should be updated by Moday. Until then, the platform can be accessed through Nelli.

2011-02-24T14:58:00.001+02:00

The DawsonEra ebook platform is going to require Aalto log-in from Monday the 7th of March. This means the data saved under the TKK log-in names will be lost. This will affect two functions:

Scopus Download PDF tool

2011-02-15T14:10:00.000+02:00

A Download PDF option has been added to the results list of the Scopus database. It allows the download of multiple selected articles at once from the publisher website. This option is always shown, whether we have a subscription to the journal in question or not. So, if we have bought access to the journal the pdf can be downloaded by Scopus, but if no access has been bought Scopus can not retrieve the document.

Scopus now also has SFX buttons beneath the records and you can check our access from the SFX-menu.

Google Scholar linking temporarily out of use

2011-02-14T12:15:00.000+02:00

The SFX-linking in Google Scholar was disabled due to moving to the new version of SFX. We try to set up the linking again as soon as possible.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

CSA databases move to new Proquest platform

2011-02-07T14:45:00.001+02:00

CSA has previously provided us access to over 60 separate databases, which could all be searched in the Nelli portal. Now these databases have been grouped into 21 larger databases and the searching no longer works in Nelli. The individual databases can still be searched on the CSA Illumina platform, by following the link in Nelli.

In a few months, however, access to the Illumina platform will cease, as Proquest (which CSA is now a part of) moves all of its databases to a new platform. After this migration it is no longer possible to search the separate databases. The new platform includes the 21 larger databases as well as 12 other databases. These can all be searched through Nelli as well as on the platform. These will be made available in Nelli as soon as possible. The old CSA databases have (CSA) in the title and the databases on the new platform are marked with (Proquest).

Temporarily no access to Wiley Chemical Handbooks

2011-02-07T14:15:00.000+02:00

We currently have no access to the Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry or the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. The publisher has been notified and asked to return access as soon as possible.

Reply to the comment on the previous post

2010-07-06T12:52:00.001+03:00

As the blog has already thrice eaten my comment response to the comment on the previous post, I'll now see if i can post it here so it does not disappear on refresh:

When using remotely you first need to log-in to the Nelli-portal and then select HS (Helsingin Sanomat or Hesari) from the databases and follow the link. I now also added it to the journals, so it can be found in the journal list tomorrow.

You will always be asked to log-in when accessing restricted materials in this service. But in the log-in screen select 'Yrityskäyttäjä, kirjaudu sisään tästä ›' which takes you to another log-in page. Next to the log-in boxes should be the text 'Kirjaudu Yritystunnuksella. Yhteisö: Aalto-yliopisto...' beneath which is a button 'Kirjaudu' which will log you on without entering any log-in details.

Complicated, I admit, but unfortunately the only way to do it with this resource.

Let me know if there are any further problems.

BR, Mari

Access to HS.fi (Helsingin Sanomat)

2010-07-05T17:43:00.000+03:00
