In the past, RSS reader/aggregators such as Bloglines & NewsGator were often unable to recognize RSS feeds from our databases and electronic journals because our III proxy server changed the URL, imbedding additional text. With our switch to EZProxy, this is no longer an issue and the RSS feeds should work.
More information on RSS feeds and readers is available on this Keeping Current with Research: RSS page.
The Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA) database on the Ebsco platform is now available through our Ebsco profiles and not solely on Ebsco’s free platform. This change allows us to use all of the features of our other Ebsco databases, including Get This Item links.

OSU Libraries has a trial of the Shakespeare Survey. This trial will run through October 17, 2008.
Shakespeare Survey is a yearbook of Shakespeare studies and production. Since 1948 Survey has published the best international scholarship in English and many of its essays have become classics of Shakespeare criticism.
Each volume is devoted to a theme, or play, or group of plays; each also contains a section of reviews of that year’s textual and critical studies, and of the year’s major British performances. The virtues of accessible scholarship and a keen interest in performance, from Shakespeare’s time to our own, have characterised the journal from the start.
The books are illustrated with a variety of Shakespearean images and production photographs.
Shakespeare Survey Online makes all issues of the Survey, including over 90% of the original images, available online for the first time.
