The Oregon State University Libraries is cancelling its subscription to Ingenta Connect as of August 1, 2009. In anticipation of this you will find suggestions for alternative research alerting services available at: http://ica.library.oregonstate.edu/subject-guide/611-Keeping-Current-with-Research?tab=2121 .

• In lieu of Ingenta for your Search Alerts, we recommend using a broad database like Web of Knowledge/Science as the closest equivalent to the broad coverage of Ingenta OR
• You may want to see if the subject specific database you use most frequently has an alerting service.
• In lieu of Ingenta’s Table of Contents alerts, we recommend you use the free JISC Table of Contents alerting service called “ticTOCs” ” (see at: http:// www.tictocs.ac.uk/), OR
• Ingenta offers a free personal Table of Contents services for up to five (5) titles. You fall in that category. If you would like to use the free version you can set this up by going to: http://www.ingentaconnect.com . Note: This is probably better done from off campus or after August 1 so you do not inadvertently end up at our current institutional subscription site.

If you need additional assistance setting up search alerts please contact your subject librarian. If you are unsure which librarian covers your department, refer to this listing: http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/staff/college-dept-specialists

The 19th Century British Pamphlet Collection, created by RLUK (Research Libraries UK), contains the most significant British pamphlets from the 19th century held in UK research libraries. Pamphlets were an important means of public debate, covering the key political, social, technological, and environmental issues of their day. They have been underutilized within research and teaching because they are generally quite difficult to access – often bound together in large numbers or otherwise hard to find in the few research libraries that hold them. The digitization of more than 20,000 pamphlets from seven UK institutions will provide researchers, students, and teachers with an immensely rich and coherent corpus of primary sources with which to study the socio-political and economic landscape of 19th century Britain. This collection was created with funding from the JISC Digitisation Programme.

The 19th Century British Pamphlets collection is now freely accessible to all JSTOR participating institutions through June 30, 2009.

The collection includes Cowen Tracts (1603-1898), Hume Tracts (1769-1890) and the Knowlsley Pamphlet Colletion (1792-1868)

The Elsevier ScienceDirect platform will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance on their site on Saturday, March 8 PM, from 5 AM - 11:30 PM. Elsevier journals will be not be available during this time.
