Web of Science, a rich electronic resource,  is available through Catholic University of America Libraries.

Web of Science includes Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index.  It provides “Cited Reference Search” and subject searching through both “quick” and “advanced” searches. Our Web of Science subscription includes citations and references for articles in almost 9000 high quality, peer-reviewed journals published from 2002 to the present. Web of Science provides complete bibliographic data, searchable author abstracts, and cited references. Coverage is in the sciences (more than 6000 journals), followed by social sciences (approximately 1800 journals), and arts and humanities (approximately 1100 journals). For impact factor information about specific journals, users are directed to the index “Journal Citation Reports.”

The system at WRLC is down. To access some major databases, please use this link:

http://libraries.cua.edu/access/temp-access.cfm

Sorry for the inconvenience.

The MARC records for 3,842 titles found in the Library of Latin Texts (Series A and B) have been added to the library catalog.  Special thanks to Kristen Frederickson, Information Processing Librarian, for uploading the records.

You can search the catalog using a title search or a keyword search using ‘Library of Latin Texts’.  Each catalog record contains a link directly to the work in the Library. Most of the works come from the print series, Corpus Christianorum Series Latina and Continuatio Mediaevalis as well as selections from the Teubneriana series.

Update: 2:00pm

Everything is working now, you should be able to access our databases and e-journals as normal.

Thank you for your patience!

We are currently experiencing problems with MetaLib and the SFX Link Resolver.

To access our databases please use the Alternative Access to Database Lists. You should be able to access all of our subscription databases that way.

The E-Journal Finder is also affected – please use e-Journals in WRLC (EJTF) to search for journal titles held by the databases. The search will be consortium wide, so pay attention to whether the journal is available at CU and click on the relevant link.

Both of these links can also be found on the University Libraries homepage.

If you have any questions please call 202-319-5070 or Ask A Librarian.
