http://uclibs.org/PID/270639
(B, I, LA, R, SB; on the Harvard University Press platform)

“Founded by James Loeb in 1911, the mission of the Loeb Classical Library has always been to make Classical Greek and Latin literature accessible to the broadest range of readers. The digital Loeb Classical Library (located at loebclassics.com) extends this mission into the twenty-first century. Harvard University Press is honored to renew James Loeb’s vision of accessibility, and presents an interconnected, fully searchable, perpetually growing, virtual library of all that is important in Greek and Latin literature. Epic and lyric poetry; tragedy and comedy; history, travel, philosophy, and oratory; the great medical writers and mathematicians; those Church Fathers who made particular use of pagan culture—in short, our entire Greek and Latin Classical heritage is represented here with up-to-date texts and accurate English translations. More than 520 volumes of Latin, Greek, and English texts are available in a modern and elegant interface, allowing readers to browse, search, bookmark, annotate, and share content with ease.”

Key Features

  • Read every Loeb volume in print, including biannual additions
  • Toggle between single- and dual-language reading modes
  • Browse works and volumes of the library by author, language, period, form, genre, and subject
  • Search across the full Loeb corpus in English, Latin, and Greek
  • Bookmark, organize, and annotate content in personal digital workspaces
  • Share notes and reading lists with classmates, students, and colleagues

Nature Plants is a new systemwide license in 2015. After numerous faculty requests across a number of campuses, the UC Bio/Ag and Health & Life Sciences selectors requested that CDL evaluate the new journal which led to a cost share proposal that was approved by CLS (Collection Licensing Subgroup).

Nature Plants will publish primary research into the molecular biology, physiology and ecology of plants — in both basic and applied research spheres ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­— as well as investigations into the relationship between humanity and the plant kingdom. In addition to publishing original research, Nature Plants will deliver news, reviews and commentaries from across the full range of disciplines concerned with the plant sciences.

This journal has been cataloged by the Shared Cataloging Program (SCP).

UC Monthly E-Resource Usage Reports Are Now Available Via MPSInsight for Libraries http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/2015/02/25/uc-monthly-e-resource-usage-reports-are-now-available-via-mpsinsight-for-libraries/ http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/2015/02/25/uc-monthly-e-resource-usage-reports-are-now-available-via-mpsinsight-for-libraries/#comments Wed, 25 Feb 2015 23:41:53 +0000 http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/?p=17056 More...]]> mps

Monthly COUNTER usage reports for UC Libraries Systemwide licensed e-resources from 2010 to the present are now available via a link to MPSInsight for Libraries (formerly ScholarlyStats). ScholarlyStats was the brand name and platform under which MPS’s library statistics reporting module was marketed to libraries by Swets Information Services, which declared bankruptcy in September of 2014. When Swets’ financial difficulties were first announced, CDL staff took immediate steps to secure our usage data and evaluate options for continued usage reporting. MPS, based in India with U.S. offices, has a long history of providing usage statistics services to both publishers and libraries, and we believe it will continue to provide effective usage statistics aggregation services to libraries under its own name and platform.

Since MPS had produced ScholarlyStats for Swets, all UC usage data remains intact on the new MPSInsight platform. Our current subscription is in place until the end of March 2015, and CDL Collections staff is working with MPS to extend our subscription through March 2016. More information on MPS services for both publishers and libraries can be found at: https://www.mpsinsight.com/.

There are new campus-level MPS Library Account Logins on the MPSInsight platform. Individual usage reports are available for all 10 campuses, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Aggregated reports are also available at a UC systemwide level. Besides COUNTER reports, various custom reports are available, for example, a list of the most highly used titles, average use per title, etc.  Fourteen additional publisher platforms have been added to our UC account. In total, there are 49 publisher platforms available.

Login information and the monthly usage reports can be accessed at:
http://www.cdlib.org/services/collections/usage_stats/.

For more information or for journal title level usage reports prior to 2010, please contact CDL at: CDLSTATS@ucop.edu.
