Date | Alma Collections Impacted | Notes |
|---|---|---|
22 Feb 2022 | SAGE Premier 2021 | Collection has been activated in NZ and distributed to subscribing colleges. (This collection was previously missing from NZ.) |
22 Feb 2022 | Removed:
Added:
| The [SCHLS] and [SCPC] collections were linking to the journal home page rather than to the articles in Primo. These have been replaced by the two “added” collections. |
22 Feb 2022 | EBSCOhost Ebooks | The job to delete this collection has been completed. |
22 Feb 2022 | Films on Demand | As we’ve discovered the Nursing Collection content is not included in this resource, we have un-distributed it from any colleges who exclusively subscribe to the Nursing Collection. |
28 Feb 2022 | Nexis Uni | Accidentally distributed to non-subscribers upon data load. This error has been corrected. (Un-distributed from Fleming, La Cité, Northern, Algonquin, Fanshawe, St. Clair.) |
1 Mar 2022 | Films on Demand | We activated this collection to support access the content that don’t have their own collections in Alma (Nursing, Master Career & Technical Education Collection, Technical Education Collection). After some testing, it became clear this is not a viable solution. We have now deleted the collection and are exploring other solutions for that missing content. |
15 Mar 2022 | Deletions: desLibris - Irwin Law | All of these collections were identified as bad matches and have been removed from the NZ. There are no known matches in the CZ for the associated subscriptions. In some cases however there is a less granular collection (For example, there is no collection for Human Anatomy Atlas on the Visible Body platform but there is a generic Visible Body collection) |
15 Mar 2022 | Embase | Removed the existing collection which was linking to the ProQuest platform and replaced it with a collection that links to the Elsevier platform. (Both collections in CZ have the same name, simply “Embase.”) |
15 Mar 2022 | Deleted: CPS on web Replaced with: e-CPS francais | The initial collection was identified as a bad match. There is no known English collection in CZ |
15 Mar 2022 | Deleted: Factiva | Renewal was cancelled, no remaining subscribers, so we have removed this from the NZ |
15 Mar 2022 | Deleted: PsycARTICLES | This collection was found to link to the APA platform, which no one subscribes to. All current subscribers are already matched with the EBSCOhost collection, so no further changes to PsycARTICLES collections in CZ were made aside from this deletion |
15 Mar 2022 | Added: EBSCOhost Regional Business News | Collection has been activated and distributed to Business Source subscribers. |
16 Mar 2022 | Added: | These collections are included in Academic Search subscriptions. They have been activated in the NZ. Those which are package collections have also been distributed to the subscribing colleges. Encyclopedia of Animals is also included in Academic Search subscriptions but could not be found in the Community Zone. |
