AHA Journals online

Hello Everyone,

This is more of an FYI. I received two emails this morning about an expired online subscription to the AHA journals, which includes: Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, & Vascular Biology, Circulation, Hypertension, Circulation Research, and Stroke. What is happening is that patrons are not noticing the Find It link to the Journals@OVID source which includes access to the most recent issues. Instead they are selecting the Highwire Free Press link which has a one year embargo on all the AHA titles except Circulation Research, which we do have access to the most recent issues through Highwire as well as Journals@OVID. I don't know if people will be calling the reference desk or email medref, but I wanted everyone to be aware of this.

Please let me know if there are any other questions.

Nicole

Blackwell Syngery blocking proxy IP

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I have received three emails from Blackwell Synergy informing me that they have detected unusual spider activity from an IP address, 128.101.98.21, which is the proxy server.

I have reported all these instances to Jim Stemper who is waiting to hear back from Blackwell with details about the incident. Meanwhile, I wanted to make everyone aware of this incase there are calls to the reference desk from patrons who are unable to access Blackwell titles remotely.

Feel free to contact me if there are any other questions.

Nicole
