Problems with
Access and Navigation

Responses to the question:
"What would you like to see added or changed on the Electronic Journals
pages?"
|
| Up to date links, i.e. sometimes I can get to a journal if I follow the UW link, but not the UG link. |
| Do not always get full text- sometimes only abstract or password required. |
| Journal of Clinical Microbiology (American Assoc. of Microbiol) does not allow PDF downloads of articles without signing in, and using a password. Can this be avoided? Do we have a UW password? At present I can access only the abstracts. |
| hard to get to some journals e.g. Angewandte Chemie by Wiley InterScience - probably due to # of users. |
| I was looking at the annual review of sexual research and it was listed but I could only get the abstract - this is misleading. |
| Ability to print journal articles online. I know if we have the journal in the library, we have to come and photocopy it here. Much easier if we can just print it. |
| Easier access to the passwords for electronic journals - or make the passwords the same for all e-journals if possible |
| Easier to access what you want - not ALWAYS under construction and just not working. This is VERY annoying when you are trying to do research for a paper that is due in a week. |
| Explicit information on how to use E-journals successfully. I find I waste a lot of time trying to figure out how to successfully achieve results. I just wish things were simpler! Thanks. |
| I would like to see the bloody thing work … I tested many keywords and phases with several WLU and ALL and got no results. |
| More comprehensive to first time users. Other links immediately available to everyone |
| Often experience "signing" sheets with ejournals, don't know specific passwords. E.g. Nature and J Clin Microbiol. Going through UT can be slow sometimes. Keep expanding - very useful service. |
| Quick links to primary research areas (ie. Chemistry) where there should be a few journals listed with appropriate password and login |
| Would like to site to return to what it was like last year. Don't know how to search for article now. Can find the journals but not the articles |
| Integrate the ERL journals into more accessible format. |
| ASVE and ASME journals are more unwieldly to browse than Elsevier and Pergamon. It would be nice though not critical, to have all journals presented in a more uniform format electronically. (all I need are pdf files) |
| Easier navigation - ie. go to main Elsevier site - should activate the (Elsevier) in parentheses as a link to Elsevier@waterloo |
| Quick links to primary research areas (ie. Chemistry) where there should be a few journals listed with appropriate password and login |
