Electronic Resources: Updates and Information
Recent Announcements made via the LIBERESOURCES list (archived here for a period of time for your reference)
About LIBERESOURCES:
Liberesources is a list for announcements regarding OSUL's Electronic Journals. Staff in the Serials, Electronic Resources, and Rights Management Department will use this list to send announcements of new electronic journal titles and new holdings.
In case of access issues, we also will use this list to provide status reports and problem resolution. You may also receive reports from IT staff along this same vein.
This is not intended to be a discussion list, so please e-mail S/E/R or IT staff directly with questions and to report problems.
If you wish to be added to this list, please contact Marilyn Willhoff at 292-4241 or willhoff.1@osu.edu.

Announcement of New RefWorks Features (August 2005)
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 17:14:52 -0400 (EDT)
USER UPDATE
From: RefWorks Marketing Department <marketing@CSA.COM>
Subject: Summer Feature Release for RefWorks
To: pearson.1@osu.edu- About RefWorks
- RefWorks Support: Online Help
Several new features have been incorporated into the RefWorks service.
As always, these new enhancements automatically appear when you access your RefWorks account.
Program enhancements and modifications are outlined below. We hope these new features will provide you with a number of new ways to organize your personal data in an easier, more efficient manner. If you have any questions regarding these enhancements, please contact support@refworks.com.
General Program Enhancements - August 2005
- "My List" Feature
- Output Style Preview
- Write-N-Cite for Windows (Version 2.0)
- Miscellaneous Modifications
- Administrator Tool Additions
My List
My List allows you to add records to a temporary folder for use during a RefWorks session.
You can select records from any view, from search results, or across multiple pages (just add to your list before going to the next page!). You will now see the "add to list" button that places selected references into your list so they can be displayed in the View area of RefWorks.
You can generate reference lists from My List, as well as edit, delete, or export records.
Users can also create their own My Lists when accessing RefWorks databases using read-only passwords or RefShare.
Output Style Preview
The Output Style Preview is available in the Tools area of RefWorks. It allows you to preview references, in-text citations and/or footnotes in any output styles (using your own data or our sample data). When you choose to use your own data to preview the output style, a sample of each reference type available in your RefWorks database will be displayed. If you use RefWorks' data, all reference types will be displayed.
This is a terrific way to preview what information is used in an output style. Moreover, you can also preview how your data will appear in your bibliography and in-text citations or footnotes. All of this can be done without having to generate a reference list or create a paper.
Write-N-Cite for Windows (Version 2.0)
Write-N-Cite for Windows (Version 2.0) allows you to preview and modify in-text citations or footnotes while using Write-N-Cite. After you insert citation placeholders into your document using Write-N-Cite, you have access to a citation editor that allows you to preview your reference in an output style of your choice. In addition, you can modify the way your citation will appear in-text or in a footnote by:
- Suppressing (hiding) the entire citation
- Suppressing (hiding) the author
- Suppressing (hiding) the year
- Adding text before the in-text citation
- Adding text after the in-text citation
- Adding a specific page number (overriding the page number in your RefWorks record). This feature only works if the output style you plan to use has page numbers in the in-text citation or footnote.
Miscellaneous Modifications
- When globally editing references, the list of fields is now alphabetical.
- Adding descriptors is now done using the global edit feature. There is no longer a separate button to add descriptors.
- Z39.50 searching can now be set to retrieve and display up to 1,000 records per search.
Administrator Tool
The links to the various areas of the Administrator Tool have been replaced with a menu bar (similar to the RefWorks user interface) for easier navigation.
With this release we are launching Administrator Central - a place for RefWorks Administrators to get information on:
- Using the Administrator tool
- Promoting RefWorks
- Training users
- Customizing aspects of RefWorks
This page will be updated with new materials on an ongoing basis and is available when you log in to the Administrator Tool.
This message is being sent to all RefWorks users. If you no longer wish to receive information about new features available on RefWorks, please reply to this message with "remove RefWorks" in the subject line.
