Gerstein home page "Article Search" tab

I wanted to point out an update that was recently made to the Gerstein home page. The "Article Search" tab on Gerstein's web page now searches the UTL implementation of the Summon article search, which included links to the digital rights.

Please note that the Gerstein Article search has "scholarly' set as the default in order to return results more applicable to our user group. The "Articles" tab on the UTL home page does not have the "scholarly" limit applied.

RefWorks 2.0 reminders

2.0 switch date:

All schools will have their default interface switched to RefWorks 2.0 on Tuesday, October 25. New users will automatically create an account in 2.0. Users who have been working in Classic will be able to remain in Classic until the end of the 2011. All users will have the option to toggle back and forth between the two interfaces until then.


Known compatibility issues:

  • Write-N-Cite is not compatible with the new Mac OS, Lion. We do not have a release date for a compatible version, but it is expected this fall.
  • Write-N-Cite is not compatible with Word 2011 (Mac). The new version of WNC should also address this issue.
  • Write-N-Cite often has trouble working with .docx files. Please resave the file as a .doc and try running your bibliography again.
  • Internet Explorer 9 users will need to turn on Compatibility Mode in order to have full functionality (they will otherwise be unable to edit the Title field when entering references manually)

Please let us know if you have questions.
