Link Checking

Be alert for the email reminder coming to you on Monday asking you to run the link checker tool in Libguides. Many JCU department sites have changed their structure recently leading to some broken links. Even if you are not the owner of a particular guide (say you might be the co-owner and the Faculty Librarian is the top-level owner) but you look after that guide, you can still do a link check on the guides you work on. 

On the yellow menu at the top of your screen when you are signed in, choose Tools>Link Checker and then select look at  All guides and just Published guides and then click the column heading for Guide Name and you can easily browse to the guide you are looking for.

Although this report can be run at any time the reason for sending a reminder is so that your Admins have a chance to do updates on those guides that we all benefit from; the Generic Content Boxes guide and the A-Z template and you won't need to fix any links that you have re-used from these guides. The link-checker report runs on a Saturday and does not update the instant that you fix a broken link. That broken link will be reported until the next time the Libguides platform runs the report the next week.  By running your own report when the reminder arrives, you won't see any unnecessary broken link reports. 

APA electronic referencing guide changes web address

The APA Style Guide to Electronic Resource which we have password protected at http://www.jcu.edu.au/intra/journal_access/APA_style_reference.pdf and linked to from Horizon and the APA LibGuide is being moved to a new permanent address here: https://www-internal.jcu.edu.au/libcomp/assist/referencing/JCU_097386

The book listing under the referencing tab in the Generic content boxes guide now has the new address. Please change any lisiting in your guides so that it links to the book link in the Generic content boxes guide.

New additions to database links and lists

Database subset links have been added to the databases links and lists in the Generic Content Boxes guide.

• SpringerLink - Humanities, Social Sciences and Law   This link takes you to the Humanities, Social Sciences and Law subset of the SpringerLink journals
• Taylor and Francis Online - Social Science     Will take you to the Social Sciences subset of the Taylor and Francis journals. Disciplines covered include: Anthropology, Criminology and Criminal Justice, Gender Studies, Sociology and Social Policy.

If you want other subsets added do so or ask a staff member with write access to the Generic contact boxes guide.
