The eight millionth scholarly research article was recently added to OhioLINK’s award-winning Electronic Journal Center. The EJC provides students, faculty and staff at participating OhioLINK institutions with instantaneous online access to more than 7,100 journals from 101 publishers.
OhioLINK users downloaded 4.9 million articles from the EJC in 2006. A total of 25 million articles have been downloaded from the EJC since its inception in April 1998.
New journal issues are added to the EJC daily. To stay current, OhioLINK users have the option of receiving updates of new issues via e-mail alerts or RSS feeds. You can also save searches and have the results sent to you. Find instructions for these features here.
Want to find out if OhioLINK has a particular journal? Try the E-Journal Finder. The E-Journal Finder searches the EJC and several other databases to help find desired journals. If you don’t find the journal in question using the E-Journal Finder, check with your librarian as your library may provide other means of accessing the journal online.

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.

The first articles in IOP’s new open-access journal, Environmental Research Letters (ERL) , were recently published. Professor Daniel M. Kammen, the Editor-in-Chief of ERL said, “As a free to read journal, ERL’s prime purpose is to serve the entire environmental science community. I am delighted by the quality of these first contributions and eagerly anticipate the continued growth of this exciting new journal.”
The first content includes:
• Shifts in plant dominance control carbon-cycle responses to experimental warming and widespread drought by J Harte, S Saleska and T Shih
• Images of the energy future by Arthur Mason
• Risks of the oil transition by A E Farrell and A R Brandt
• Can there be science-based precaution? by Charles Weiss
• The Bodélé depression — a single spot in the Sahara that provides most of the mineral dust to the Amazon forest by I Koren, Y J Kaufman, R Washington, M Todd, Y Rudich, V J Martins and D Rosenfeld
Future additions will appear on the journal’s homepage.
ERL’s coverage will reflect the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of environmental science, recognizing wide-ranging contributions to the development of methods, tools and evaluation strategies relevant to the field.
The editorial direction and development of the journal are guided by a prestigious international board under the supervision of Professor Kammen (University of California, Berkeley). A full list of Advisory and Editorial Board members is located here.
We are pleased that this new journal is available to the community in an open-access format!
Any questions about ERL should be directed to erl@iop.org.
