The Spring 2008 issue of Classical World recently arrived and contains a lengthy survey of texts and audiovisual materials currently in print that support Greek and Latin scholarship. This survey updates a similar one done in 2006. Classical World can also be accessed electronically through CU’s e-Journals.

Access to Ovid databases restored
Normal access to the Ovid databases has been restored.
We thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
Alternate access to Ovid databases
While we continue to experience problems with normal access to Ovid databases, there is an alternate way for on-campus users to successfully access them.
The Alternative Access to Database Lists will provide entry to Ovid databases such as: CINAHL, ERIC, Essential Nursing, Health and Psychosocial Instruments, MEDLINE, Philosopher’s Index and PsycARTICLES.
The link to this list can also be found on the University Libraries home page, underneath “Find Databases”.

Update on Blackwell and Wiley journal migration
After the past weekend’s migration, Wiley InterScience is back online.
However, they are reporting that there is some missing content that they are working to fix. A full list of missing content can be found on their website – scroll down to “What will happen to Blackwell journal content?” : Online Content Transition News
They are also reporting that OpenURL links for journals previously in Blackwell Synergy are undergoing maintenance. For the moment links should at least point to the appropriate journal page in Wiley InterScience, from where you can navigate to the appropriate article. Within a few days this should be corrected and the links should take you directly to the article.
If you have any questions please contact Ask a Librarian.
Blackwell Synergy and Wiley InterScience unavailable June 28 to 29
Due to the merger of publishers Blackwell and Wiley, all content previously available through Blackwell Synergy is being transferred to Wiley InterScience.
Blackwell Synergy will close at the end of the day Friday, June 27. Over the weekend of June 28/29 Wiley InterScience will be unavailable while the migration takes place. Wiley InterScience is expected to resume service on Monday, June 30.
For information on the migration and changes please see the Wiley-Blackwell Online Content Transition News.
