Current Awareness and Alerting Services
You can keep current in your research field by subscribing to alert services that a number of databases and publishers of journals offer. Check out the following UConn Library site that allows you to see what alert services are available in your field of interest: http://www.lib.uconn.edu/using/currentawareness.htm
UConn FullText? is an OpenURL link resolver–a service designed to link you to online full-text journal articles. When journals are not available online, UConn FullText? offers links to HOMER and Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan. This service can save you a lot of time, but it does not always work perfectly. Find out more about UConn FullText?, why it does not always work well, and what to expect in the future.
The Reserve Department at Jeremy Richard Library will be clearing out old Reserve materials which we have stored here in the Library. If you have personal copies of books or journal articles that you will not be using in the Summer sessions or Fall, please stop by and pick them up.
Please be aware that if materials are not picked up, journal articles will be discarded and books may be added to our Collection. Please stop by to look over your materials as soon as possible.
Thanks so much for your cooperation in this matter.

Dear Faculty,
If you are teaching this summer 2005, please advise me of your Reserve needs ASAP. I want to have all materials ready for students on the first day of class. Thanks for your kind attention.

The Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan (DD/ILL) webpage has a new look, as well as new online book and article request forms.
In order to use the new forms, you will need to identify your university NetID. In addition, you will also need to use a password associated with your NetID. You can both find your NetID and create a NetID password at this location: https://netid.uconn.edu/
When you log on to use our new request forms with your NetID, your personal information will accompany any loan or photocopy request you make.
Once you have submitted your requests, log out of the application by clicking the Log Out button. Just as you do now, you will receive an email confirmation of each loan or document request you place with our new forms.
You can also track the progress of your requests by choosing the “View Articles Online” menu button. This button not only will allow you to view your new PDF documents, but it will also allow you to track the progress of the requests you place using our new forms.
If you have any questions about these new request forms, please contact us at udoc@uconn.edu
D&B’s Financial Information Database consists of aggregated financial statements of U.S. corporations, partnerships, and proprietorships. Financial and operating ratios by SIC classification. To access click on “Key Business Ratios” in left frame.
Currently in order to search by SIC you would need to tab over to “Report” and scroll down a drop down of codes.
In HOMER, the library catalog, the “New Titles at the Libraries” Tab is currently not functioning. If your searching for a particular title, you can still run a basic author, title, and subject search in HOMER.
T0 Faculty and students,
The LinkFinderPlus, the libraries link resolving software (the “UConn FullText?” buttons ) will be temporarily disabled and the buttons will not show up for the duration in search results of databases in which you would expect to see them. We apologize for the late notice and any inconvenience.
