silverlinker beta

[Kimberly Parker <kimberly.parker@yale.edu>]

We've been given beta test status on SilverLinker (link to fulltext) until
3/31/00.  Note, you need the ? at the end of the url and Eudora doesn't
seem to want to feed it to Netscape...

Webspirs 4.1 URL for searching databases:

GeoREF, Inspec, and Sociological Abstracts are hosted with this
Webspirs.

2 simultaneous users per database are allowed

At bottom is a problem they reported as known.

Now FYI -- I'm messing around with which titles I'm activating or not in
the administrative mode.  (Which by the way, needs a user-interaction
design upgrade BADLY!)  

Right now, only the following journals are activated (and only for very
recent years).
         Addiction 
         Advances In Physics 
         Aerosol Science and Technology 
         AIDS Care 
         American Journal of Family Therapy 
         American Journal on Addictions 
         Amsterdamer Beiträge zur älteren Germanistik 
         Amsterdamer Beiträge zur neueren Germanistik 
         Annals of Human Biology 
         Annals of Science 
         Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology 
         Applied Economics 
         Applied Economics Letters  
         Applied Financial Economics 
         Applied Occupational and Environmental Hygiene 
         Applied Psychology 
         Australian Feminist Studies 
         Australian Geographer 
         Australian Journal of Political Science 
         Brain Injury 

I will be messing around with which journals are activated because I'm
doing testing of the admin mode.  If you want to be kept informed about
what titles are active, send me a personal e-mail and I'll maintain a
mini-beta tester list for the coming month.

If you want to see the links in action, do a journal title search in the
beta test version (URL above).

Feed me any comments. I'm depending on you-all to test the links in the
user interface, since most of my beta-test time needs to be concentrated on
the admin/setup mode. Some quirks I may be able to affect using the admin
mode (after I figure it out a little more!)  If not, I'll funnel back to
the SP beta people.

Problem with printing SilverLinker links in WebSPIRS

----------------------------------------------------

We are aware of a problem that when printing records in Netscape that

contain SilverLinker links to full-text articles, the printing can come
out

with very small fonts. This happens when SilverLinker links are
configured

to appear in a drop-down menu.


SOLUTION: *  Users can de-select the FTXT field from the fields they
want

             to print, before printing the records.
