Monday 11th August - planned downtime will affect access to all of our e-journals, databases and Searcher from the library's webpages and possibly from some other University links, eg WebCT. This downtime is from 12-2pm but the services should be considered 'at risk' for the rest of the day as well.
This is to allow the new version of ezproxy (the current authentication system used by most databases/e-journals) to be implemented.

Book Reviews
Chemistry Biology Pharmacy Information Center at ETH Zürich provides
RSS feed for book reviews:
http://www.clicaps.ethz.ch/fmi/xsl/bookreviews_rss_en.xsl (english) http://www.clicaps.ethz.ch/fmi/xsl/bookreviews_rss_de.xsl (german)
Book reviews are taken from more than 60 e-journals and are added if a title is in the information centre's catalogue.
Reviews may be missed if:
"- we missed the book when it was published
- we did not buy it because it does not fit in our collection policy (Chemistry, Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences and related fields)
- the book received a bad review, so we do not buy it
- book is republished material from other works we own
Normally, we have the book before the book review appears, so the RSS entry is "on time", e.g. within the same day (or next workday) the e-journal issue appeared (except if I'm in holidays).
Sometimes the book is acquired after the review appeared, then the RSS entry appears when we catalog the book."
