Its use with databases from the main library causes confusion for users who also use the AHSL proxy server for access to AHSL databases. Links from our OPAC to electronic journals were made without consideration for off-campus use. The project will develop a method of updating the OPAC links to make access from off-campus as seamless as possible and avoiding the use of the proxy server. Vendors of electronic journals are prone to change the URL of individual journal titles. This will cause an immense amount of work for TST to update links, especially since this is usually done as part of redesigning the vendors Web site and all their URLs are likely to change simultaneously.
Vendors frequently provide links to full text articles from their indexes.
If the full text is not from the same vendor, UA users who aren't on campus may not be recognized as valid users. Policies and procedures that are centralized and accessible to staff Providing up to date and accurate access to electronic journals involves individuals from different teams. Proper coordination will depend on good communication and clear direction from policies and procedures. This project will then create a centrally accessible web site that will provide links to pertinent policies and procedures covering selection, licensing, ordering, receiving, cataloging and maintaining links to electronic resources. This team will provide training to internal staff on the policies and procedures.
