Roundup of database woes and issues

This post provides a quick update on a number of database access issues that have been reported in the past few weeks and months:

American Chemical Society Journals (ACS): No remote access.

ebrary: Users must download the ebrary reader before they can view an e-book.

Euromonitor GMID: No remote access.

NetLibrary: Baruch students may only access e-books in NetLibrary that are clearly owned by Baruch. There is no way that Baruch students can view e-books that are owned by libraries at other colleges in the CUNY system.

RefWorks: No remote access.

Simmons Choices III: There is no access to this database at all. We are working on a solution. In the meanwhile, students should inquire at the reference desk to see if MRI+ might be able to provide them with the marketing data they need.
