17 February 2010
As of February 15, 2010, the
CRCnetBASEs have a new single interface for all of the collections except
CHEMnetBASE. You can see the new interface at http://www.crcnetbase.com. Although the
new interface appears to resolve many of the problems that occurred when users
access the full text chapters, University of California users will currently
experience the following behavior:
1.
Any links that used to go directly to a specific netBASE collection are now
directed to the single home page shown above. The one exception is CHEMnetBASE,
which continues as in the past. The CHEMnetBASE page will undergo some
updating, but current plans are for CHEMnetBase to remain on its own separate
domain.
2.
The new home page lists all CRCnetBASE collections and titles, both what we
have licensed and what we have not. When looking at the chapter level, chapters
in licensed titles have green checks to the left and chapters in non-licensed
titles have locks. It is possible when searching to specify to ‘Search
Full Access Content Only’ to restrict search results to licensed content;
however, it is not the default.
3.
Many or all URLs to CRCnetBASE books have been changed as part of this
migration and are not being redirected to their new location. As a result,
this has broken the links from our catalogs to the individual books.
We are working to resolve these
issues. We will continue checking over the new interface and welcome any
assistance. If you find additional problems or have questions, please contact
Deanna Johnson, CRCnetBASE Resource Liaison, at [log in to unmask] or
530-752-3271.
