New SUNCAT demonstration video

Nov 242011
 

Another new short video is available on the SUNCAT website. It is a step-by-step demonstration of SUNCAT, highlighting the search options and how to view Table of Contents and access full-text articles of selected journals found via the service.

As mentioned in a blog post last month, there is also a short video available in which Natasha Aburrow-Jones, SUNCAT Project Officer, describes SUNCAT, including its coverage, functionality and features.

We hope both of these productions will help you get the most out of SUNCAT and also introduce and promote the service to users. If you have any questions about the videos, or the service in general, please contact the EDINA helpdesk at edina@ed.ac.uk.

SUNCAT links to Journals’ Tables of Contents

Oct 142009
 
SUNCAT has just introduced links to journals’ tables of contents (ToCs) using information provided by the ToCs service, Zetoc. This development results from work conducted on the Discovery to Delivery project by EDINA and Mimas.The ToCs links appear on the SUNCAT search result screen and at the top of the full record display. Each link leads to the most recent issue of the appropriate journal title. Currently, there are ToCs links from around 20,000 journal titles, plus conference proceedings on SUNCAT, but this number will expand as new titles are added to Zetoc.
This is an important development for SUNCAT, instantly providing more information about journals on the catalogue. Article details from ToCs can assist users in distinguishing journals of interest, before establishing their location via the holdings information of the 70 libraries available on SUNCAT.
