In addition to IEEE Computer Society Digital Library, we now have access to IEEE All-Society Periodicals Package (ASPP), which contains a core collection of engineering, electronics, and computer science periodicals, including 128 IEEE Society-sponsored journals and magazines. NOTE: Transactions and conference proceedings are NOT available as full-text. See IEEE Computer Society Digital Library for full-text of conference proceedings. (These databases are separate --they have different interfaces.)
NOTE: For IEEE ASPP, the default search is the ENTIRE IEEE collection. In order to search our subscribed content, the user needs to click the button "Search subscribed content only" on the right-hand side of the advanced search page. There is no way around this!

In response to ongoing feedback from researchers and librarians, JSTOR modified the Advanced Search form. These revisions were previewed on the JSTOR Sandbox from July 2006 to November 2006. Based on usability testing and the feedback received during the preview, the Advanced Search form will now include four new fields for entering and combining full text, author, article title, abstract, and caption field search queries. In addition to these changes to the Advanced Search Form, navigation options and help files for the Basic Search and Article Locator forms have been updated, and the Expert Search form has been removed.
New linking functionality in the JSTOR website is now visible on article view and article information pages. In addition to already-existing links to articles in JSTOR that are referenced within a given article (“reference linking”), information about other articles in JSTOR that in-turn cite a given article (“forward linking”) will now be displayed. Also displayed will be links to articles by authors with the same name as the authors of the article. To further aid in resource discovery, we will also provide “forward linking” via Google Scholar which will enable users to see if an article has been cited by others in articles not necessarily present in JSTOR.
Retrospective capture of linking data is still underway for archived content in JSTOR, so the number and availability of these linking options will continue to grow over the next several months. The retrospective portion of this work is expected to be completed by the end of 2007.

Announcing the release of the new WorldCat.org Web site.
This site---and a downloadable WorldCat search box you can easily add to your Web site---opens the complete WorldCat database to the public, not just the smaller data subsets utilized by Open WorldCat partner sites such as Google, Yahoo! Search and others. WorldCat.org builds on the success of OCLC’s Open WorldCat Program that has elevated the visibility of library materials on the open Web since the summer of 2003.
The main attraction of the new site is the WorldCat search box. Web users can now search the entire WorldCat database with the method most familiar to them: simple keywords. As in Open WorldCat, each linked result leads to a "Find in a Library" information page. From there, users can enter geographic information such as a zip or postal code, receive a list of nearby libraries that own the item, and link right to a library's online catalog record to initiate circulation activity or access electronic content directly. Users can also create their own WorldCat account and add book reviews, table-of-contents information and notes to many WorldCat items, helping to personalize their library search experience.
How does this compare to accessing WorldCat through FirstSearch? How do academic librarians use this tool?
