Linguistics Abstracts Online – SFX (Find it @ NTU) link display

Further to the 9 March update about the reinstatement of access to the Linguistics Abstracts Online service, the Abstract view of each record in the database now displays the full SFX (Find it @ NTU) button rather than the previous ‘SFX OpenURL’ text link (see illustration below).

Linguistics Abstracts Online – access restored

Access to Linguistics Abstracts Online has been re-enabled in eSearch, following an extended interruption of access caused by technical issues which followed the merger of Wiley and Blackwell. Access is direct on-campus, and by university username and password (using the Shibboleth framework) off-campus. LAO has been enabled as an SFX ‘source’ (so it is possible to send bibliographic data direct from LAO to the ‘Find It @ NTU’ service), though at present the link to SFX is provided through a ‘SFX OpenURL’ text link rather than through the ‘Find It @ NTU’ button (see illustration below). LAO’s technicians are working to reinstate the ‘Find It @ NTU’ button on the service shortly.
