SFX Documentation

Methods in Enzymology

Added this title, for which we have a direct subscription for the full run, 1955-. This is also listed on our database pages, at Mike's request, since it functions as a quasi-database, too.

There were a couple of target options with a getFullTxt service, so I used ELSEVIER_SD_ACADEMIC_PRESS. The other choice was  ELSEVIER_SD_SCIENCE_DIRECT_COMPLETE. It was probably sixes, but I chose the former on a whim and when tested, the links work just fine. It may be worth doing some more testing once the title is a live target (after the instance copy) to verify that it responds correctly to a full citation.

"Email ExLibris" from portfolios

To get the "Email ExLibris" links from object portfolios to work, we had to get the internal email function to work. After much experimentation, the fix turned out to be rather easy, namely, adding an smtp server to Sendmail.pm in the SFX Perl installation. The relevant path is:

/exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx_version_3/app/perl-5.8.6/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/Mail

Note that there is only one Perl install, of course, for all three instances, so there is no instance in the path. Must be logged in as or SU to sfxglb3 user to edit this file.

UPDATE:

To repair a problem with mailing stats, Lawrence undid this change and reverted to localhost. To quote him "Since the local sendmail will canonify addresses and knows that it is in
the 'lib.ksu.edu' domain, while the main SMTP server doesn't/won't
rewrite addresses." This is fine, since the reason I had changed it in the first place was to get the "Email Ex Libris" function in the Admin client to work. Since we know use the CRM for those exchanges, it's no longer an issue.

Annals of the NY Academy of Sciences

A patron reported problems getting to the Annals off the A-Z list.  SFX was using a link to Highwire which resulted in a 404, then a redirect to the main Annals page and a "you're not a subscriber" message. 

The catalog has a net holdings record for the Annals via Blackwell-Synergy, and it works.  Dates are consistent with the defaults in the SYNERGY_BLACKWELL_CURRENT portfolio, so I activated the object there, and deactivated the HIGHWIRE_PRESS_NEW_YORK_ACADEMY_OF_SCIEN portfolio.

Changes made in test only, on the assumption that they copy to production overnight.

Object_Portfolio Fixes

Problem:
Librarian's search with patron in PubMed resulted in a need for FT to European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology [0301-5548]. GET IT resulted in no FT, but catalog search uncovered e-subscription info for this title.
Solution:
Title changed in 2000 to European Journal of Applied Physiology [1439-6319]. Because of different ISSNs, SFX did not link from old title to new title in Admin or patron view. All access (1997-) was linked under new title's Object Portfolio. Activated old title's portfolio for SpringerLinkStandard in lcl3 and tst3. Search is now successful with either title.

Problem:
Links to Education Week [0277-4232] from DB searches, CitationLinker, and A-Z list gave option for Miscellaneous Ejournals link and ProQuest. Miscellaneous Ejournals link asked for subscription login when patron clicked GO.
Solution:
Free access to publisher's Website expired in January, per contract database (thanks, Donna!). This was "miscellaneous ejournals" data originally supplied to SFX from SerSol. De-activated Miscellaneous Ejournals portfolio for Education Week in lcl3 and tst3. Change is immediate for DB searches and CitationLinker, but will update in a few days for A-Z list.
