As of today, the Shared
Cataloging Program (SCP) staff have completed updating the PIDs (Persistent Identifiers)
for the CRCnetBASE books. Catalog records for the netBASE databases along
with the records for the netBASE books are working correctly again.

Original CDLAlert (sent 2/17/2010):
CDLAlert: CRCnetBASEs change interface; catalog records
(URLs) are broken
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.
