Major Change to ScienceDirect Resource in CUFTS Knowledgebase

Because of changes in the way Elsevier is providing its data, it is no longer possible for us to maintain a master list for this resource in a form that will allow your local holdings to be retained.

In order to bring local holdings up to date, it will be necessary for each library using ScienceDirect to make a local resource:

STEP ONE - Create a new SD entry in CUFTS

1. Login to CUFTS Maintenance Tool
2. Select Local Resources
3. Use the New Resource link
4. Fill in the following:
- Name: ScienceDirect
- Provider: Elsevier
- Type: Fulltext journals
- Module: ElsevierLocal
- ERM: only link if you are using the ERM component of CUFTS
- Proxy: check
- Dedupe: optional
- Rank: optional
- Active: check

Under Services:
- Database: check
- Fulltext: check
- Journal: check

5. Submit

STEP TWO - Download your library's SD holdings

1. Go to http://admintool.elsevier.com
2. login using your ScienceDirect admin username and password
3. Go to the ScienceDirect tab
4. Choose Electronic Holdings Report
5. Check off Subscribed/entitled titles
6. Click on CSV-Download File
7. Save the file *without opening it*

STEP THREE - Upload to CUFTS

1. Return to the CUFTS Maintenance Tool
2. Select Local Resources
3. Select the Bulk link for the SD Resource you created in Step One
4. Use the Title List upload tool to upload the file you saved in Step Two
5. Report any error messages to researcher-support@sfu.ca

That should be it. From now on, whenever you have any new resources from ScienceDirect, repeat Steps Two and Three.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
