These new services are part of the Libraries' strategy of utilizing the Internet to expand information resources, and are a direct result of funding reallocations made possible by the Libraries' recent Serials Management Project. The UnCover Article Service is a large multidisciplinary database of journal articles covering more than 17,000 journals dating back to 1988. UnCover expands the journal resources readily available to Rensselaer faculty by a factor of 7 and complements the Libraries' growing list of electronic resources.
Researchers can search for journal articles by author name, article keyword, and journal title.
Rensselaer Libraries' journal holdings have also been linked with journals in the UnCover database. When journal titles match, Rensselaer Libraries' holdings will be indicated. UnCover supplies copies of ordered articles by fax usually within 48 hours or less and will be offering electronic desktop delivery early in 1998. Documents routed to the Libraries' fax number and not claimed within 48 hours will be put in Campus Mail when campus addresses are known. Recently-hired faculty or students who registered for classes will be authenticated during the next update cycle.
