The web and telnet versions of the MLA International Bibliography
database (SilverPlatter) are temporarily unavailable due to a record
display problem. We are working with SilverPlatter to resolve the
problem as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, the Ovid version of the MLA International Bibliography
database is available at:
http://gateway.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&MODE=ovid&NEWS=N&PAGE=main&D=mlab
The Ovid version is available from on-campus (UC IP networks) and via
the proxy servers. This version is not accessible using a CDL
database password.
Note: When using any of the Ovid databases, please be advised
that when a session has been logged off or timed out, the "Welcome
to Ovid" screen which displays indicates that in order to start a
new session, the user must enter a user ID and password before pressing
the "Start Ovid" button. This is not the
case.
Users on valid UC networks only need press the
Start Ovid button to begin a new
session.
Please share this information with your colleagues. We will
send another CDL Alert when access to the SilverPlatter version of MLA
resumes.
