UCB’s e-resources on UC-eLinks are down
All the UCB e-resources on UC-eLinks are down. This problem does not affect the CDL licensed titles. We are working on a quick resolution. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
This problem has been resolved. Thank you for your patience.

Springer ebook shared cataloging request
A recent post on the CDLINFO News (Springer eBook Shared Cataloging Update) asks campus librarians to let SCP know “if you find any English language titles posted at the SpringerLink site for more than three months for which no catalog record exists.” SCP will investigate and get these titles cataloged as soon as possible.
Interface Change: Wiley electronic journals
Wiley InterScience will be unavailable beginning at 1 a.m. on Saturday, August 7. The new Wiley Online Library is scheduled to launch at 9 a.m. on Sunday, August 8.
Once this transition is complete, all of the content made available by Wiley InterScience and Blackwell Publishers should be available in the Wiley Online Library.
Access canceled: Landolt-Bornstein
Due to cost concerns, UC has decided that we cannot subscribe to SpringerMaterials, the new digital version of Landolt-Börnstein, at this time. We will no longer have access to new content.
We will continue to have access to the archival content on another platform, but this is not yet available.
In the meantime, print volumes (through 2004) are available in the Physics-Astronomy Library: QC 61 .L32.
Global Financial Database is not available to proxy users
At this time, Global Financial Database is not available to UC Berkeley proxy service users. We’re working with the vendor to restore access to our proxy users.
Reported on: Friday, May 7, at 2:35 p.m.
CRCnetBASE: interface change and resulting problems

Original Posting:
On Monday, February 15, all of the CRCnetBASE resources have migrated to a new single interface for all of the collections (with the exception of CHEMnetBASE). Due to this migration, problems have arisen and the CDL is working to resolve them.
- Many of the links to the individual CRCnetBASE handbooks currently are broken in the records in the library catalogs as well as on the pages containing resource listings on the library websites.
- The home page lists all of the CRCnetBASE collections, including resources that haven’t been licensed.
Tips:
- Go directly to the CRCnetBASE home page to select a handbook collection and search or browse for the handbooks that you need.
- Look for the green check marks when viewing handbook chapter listings — this indicates that the resource has been licensed for our use. If you see lock icons, access has not been enabled.
Note: CHEMnetBASE will continue to remain on its own domain.
