Journals migrating to new platforms

Two ejournals are migrating platforms in June 2012, and as with all platform migrations, there are always glitches, which often result in downtime for electronic access. Please plan ahead for these two migrations, so that you are well prepared for classroom work or ongoing research work. 

The Annals of Internal Medicine will migrate away from Highwire Press and move to Silverchair--the date is yet to be announced by the publisher.   The new URL to connect to the new platform will remain the same as the old URL http://www.annals.org/; however, it would be wise to expect problems with nonaccess on the migration date  and perhaps for several days. Please plan ahead and download any articles that you may require in electronic format. There is alternate electronic access as part of EbscoHost Academic SearchPremier and Proquest Nursing and Allied Health. Users will have to resubscribe to the new alerts features once the new platform at Silverchair is running.  The migration date will be posted once notice is received from the publisher.

Chest has announced a migration from Highwire Press to Silverchair on June 28th.  Please plan ahead in case of disruptions in electronic access as advised above.  The new URL will be: http://www.chestnet.org.  

If you have any questions about these journal platform migrations, please contact:  joanne.romano@exch.library.tmc.edu.  Thank you.
