Should I be surprised? ScienceDirect (from Elsevier...ahem) now lets you activate the bX Recommender service (from Ex Libris) but has set up the recommendation service so that it only points to other articles in ScienceDirect. I really wish Ex Libris had insisted that those vendors who use the technology keep it platform- and publisher-neutral.

We srsly need a volcano this week.
- RepoRat
At moments like these, I find the volcano inadequately hot and flamey enough. We need a rocket to shoot things into THE SUN.
- Andy
good lord, I'm not sure the regular volcano is up to the task. We may need to haul out the Sammath Naur for this 'un.

Don't let me get started on the laughably-out-of-the-way spot that ScienceDirect has reserved for our link resolver icon.

It seemed to me a rather odd time for OCLC to announce joyfully that they are adding full text search of Elsevier journals to WorldCat Local. As if it is a good thing. Alas the message in so many quarters was slightly garbled and came out "full text Elsevier articles will be in WorldCat." Still, I don't think when OCLC sat down with that company they brought a long enough spoon.

I posted a note about this on our staff blog last week. Today, I got a nice email from a rep at Elsevier who also added a comment to this LIS News item about the same issue. http://lisnews.org/elsevie...

Going cross-eyed today staring at too many admin interfaces and spreadsheets as I try to normalize the way we list our databases on our library website, LibGuides, Serials Solutions 360 Core, SFX Knowledgebase, and the library catalog (records for DBs in the latter may get deleted if I have my way).
