Improvements to Find e-Journals
Find e-Journals is now being run by Innovative Interface's Electronic Resource Management System (ERM). Some of the advantages to the ERM system include:
  • Speed -- The speed of searching and displaying results will be greatly improved for users.
  • More Search Options -- In addition to the current keyword searching, ERM offers left-anchored title and subject searching.
  • More Information -- Messages can be displayed at the title level to alert patrons and staff to such issues as journal provider technical problems.
For more information about ERM, visit the ERM FAQ developed by CUL Technical Services.


CommonSpot Coming to Cornell
CUL has partnered with CIT, the College of Engineering, the ILR School, and the Office of Web Communication to license the CommonSpot Content Management System (CMS).

A content management system (CMS) supports the creation, management, distribution, publishing, and discovery of web content. It enables a variety of technical and non technical staff to create, edit, manage and publish content, including text and AV materials.

CMS separates content from design, ensuring consistency in design, preservation of brand identity, and making it easier to reuse content. It enables the implementation of common set of rules, processes, and workflows that ensure a coherent, validated website appearance. One of its key advantages is to allow content production without programming and design experience. Security is an important feature too. A CMS can facilitate better content security. It can control who is allowed to publish to the website, and who is allowed to see what content.
