    Database News & Tips - September 2024

    JSTOR & Artstor off-campus issues

    Users trying to access JSTOR and Artstor from off-campus have been experiencing very slow response times. These databases work as expected on-campus but off-campus users may see incomplete page loading or may receive an error message. This can be bypassed by refreshing the browser screen until the page fully loads. We have open cases with the vendor and OCC IT but this has yet to be resolved. A message will be added to the databases records on our Find Articles/Databases as well as in Search Everything to alert users to the problem.  


    Reminder: Zoom software minimum version

    Zoom enforces a minimum version for meetings on a quarterly basis. The next enforcement of the Software Lifecycle Policy will take place on November 2, 2024. If you are using a version of Zoom below the minimum, users will no longer be able to connect to a meeting. Versions older than 5.17.5 will need to update. If you need to update your version of Zoom, please see this article from IT on how to update to the latest version of Zoom.

    Database News & Tips - July 2024

    New database

    Reminder: Artstor is now on JSTOR

    Artstor content is now available on JSTOR, and all Artstor links on the OCC Libraries website/database lists have been updated to Artstor's new location on the JSTOR site. The Artstor website was retired on Aug. 1, and Artstor content is now only accessible through JSTOR. For more information, view our Artstor on JSTOR tutorial video
