New EJC Interface Coming Jan. 8
January 3rd, 2007
The OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center will have a new interface for the New Year beginning January 8, 2007. Faculty, students, staff and librarians at OhioLINK member institutions can catch a sneak peek of the new interface now.
The new interface will look familiar to current EJC users, but it will also offer better performance and more functionality. New features include:
- My Articles - A function of My EJC, the My Articles features allows you to create and save your favorite articles for easy reference later.
- Password retrieval - In the old interface forgotten passwords were irretrievable. Now you can automatically generate a new one.
- Find similar articles in the EJC with just one click.
- Collapsible/Expandable panels allow for faster browsing of titles with extensive numbers of issues or long back files.
- Quick links to the complete article from both the issue and article level page helps you get the full-text article more quickly.
These oldie-but-goodie features are still available and worth trying out if you haven’t already:
- Journal alerts - Get new issue alerts via RSS feed or go to My EJC and create an account to create a list of favorite journals and set up e-mail notifications.
- My Searches - Put your research on autopilot. Save your searches and set times for the system to automatically execute them and e-mail you the results.
It is possible to migrate your saved searches from the old system to the new one. Go here for instructions on doing so.
