New Interlibrary Loan (ILL) sign-on process

Starting Tuesday, July 20, 2021, the Library's Interlibrary Loan sign-on will be via UCIT's sign-on page.

Note that only those with active IT user accounts will be able to sign on. Users must also have been issued a Unicard.

For those who requested items before the switch, the link in the ILL notification email will not work as expected. Instead, sign on and click “Completed Requests” to view ILL documents.

Journal Citation Reports are available!

It takes six months to compile, but Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2021 edition is out.

What's new for 2021?

Expanded journal coverage

This year's release includes expanded coverage of the journal literature to reflect the full breadth of research covered in all the journals in the Web of Science Core Collection™ – including journals covered in the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI)™ and the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)™.

A new metric

The Journal Citation Indicator is a field-normalized measurement of journal citation impact, providing a single journal-level metric that can be easily interpreted and compared across disciplines. It has been calculated for all journals in the Web of Science Core Collection – including those that do not have a Journal Impact Factor™.

A new visual experience

New graphics improve the user experience with simpler, more direct searching while providing a deeper look into the data – for example, a view of how a journal’s metrics have evolved over time.
