As some of you are probably and painfully aware, a ruling in 2020 by the European Court of Justice that made the existing framework under which data is transferred between the EU and the US null and void, meant that very popular services normally provided by CBS Library were either discontinued or their future called into serious question. This has understandably caused some concern with faculty members who are relying on the said services.

Due to the seriousness of the GDPR concerns, the services needed a hearing and approval by senior management prior to any license extension / continuation. Below you will find the outcome of this hearing:

Qualtrics: The current software license will be extended for another year, in the course of which a tender will be announced. The outcome of this tender will determine the future of Qualtrics at CBS.
Go to Qualtrics

Mendeley: Continued access has been approved. Senior management has concurrently approved the use of similar services, including EndNote etc., in such cases where individual researchers have special demands/needs.  
Go to Mendeley

iThenticate: The final decision has been postponed and is now pending a business evaluation of the service.

Libsearch will now display information about retractions of scientific papers.

How do you figure out if a scientific paper has been retracted? Previously, you needed to check the publisher website or follow Retraction Watch, a blog dedicated to monitoring retracted scientific papers.

In future, you need not look beyond Libsearch, the CBS Library discovery system, which will now display Retraction Watch data for individual records. In this way, information about retractions will be displayed as part of the search results.

If you go on to click the Retraction Watch icon, a new window will open with information about the reasons for retraction as well as links to the official retraction statement on the publisher website.

The Retraction Watch integration is powered by LibKey from Third Iron.

You may have noticed, when you move around campus, the screens that display new articles authored by CBS faculty. And you may have caught sight of something interesting that you wanted to explore, only to forget the name of the author and the title by the time you reach your office.

If you sign up for a monthly alert of all peer-reviewed journal articles registered in the CBS Research Portal in the previous month, you will never experience this problem again.

Over the course of the CBS Library centenary, we will be looking back on the 100 years that have lapsed since the foundation of the library.
 

We have now reached the 1940s and the highlights of the decade are:

Refugees allegedly hiding in the library, a steady increase in numbers of visitors and library usage, collection growth through acquisition of American and British literature, cross-organizational collaborations, and a methods book on information retrieval for students.
