The Library has recently signed an Unlimited Catalog Access (UCA) agreement with Harvard Business Publishing (HBP). Under the agreement, academic staff will now be able to access case studies, journal articles from Harvard Business Review, book chapters and other resources in the HBP Catalogue. If they wish to use this content for teaching they can add links to the resources in LEARN.

We are the first university in New Zealand to have an agreement of this type. Until now we have not been able to create links to Harvard Business Review in LEARN because our Business Source Complete subscription does not include the right to use the articles for course work. We were also aware that some academics were purchasing case studies for course work from their own departmental funds.

Setting up the UCA agreement has been a collaborative effort, involving Janette and Cuiying from Academic Liaison, Nick and Gregor from E-learning, Paul Nicholls and Jim Thorpe from ITS Application Support, and Tim, Helen and myself from Library Access and Collections.

A number of libraries in New Zealand and Australia have reported that IP recognition is not working for OED and they are being prompted for a login. We have the same problem.

The response from Oxford is: “the issue is affecting our users globally … we will endeavour to have this fixed as soon as possible but this will be overnight at the earliest.”

This year we have an option to provide better access to PressDisplay for users reading it on mobile devices. To enable this we are making a change to our licence allocation. Currently we have a 7 user subscription. Two of the licences will be reserved for PC use and the other five will be made available for mobile users.

Users who wish to read PressDisplay on a cellphone or tablet can download the free PressReader App. There is more information about this here. User guides are also available for Android and for IOS

If we find that more licences are required for PC use we can change the licence allocation.

As Helen mentioned recently at the Staff forums we have upgraded our Factiva subscription from 4 users to unlimited access.

We now have confirmation from ProQuest that unlimited access has been set up for us.

Records for the new titles will be available in the Catalogue in mid-March and should be available in Multisearch in a few days time.

There are a small number of titles which were included in EM 200 which we will no longer have current access to. We will, however, continue to have access to the years that we have paid for.
