SearchPlus Temporarily Unavailable

The NMSU Library announces that due to required system maintenance, SearchPlus and SearchPlus searches via FlashPoint will be temporarily unavailable to NMSU researchers beginning at 5:00 p.m on Thursday, January 17.

It is expected that SearchPlus will again be available by Tuesday, January 22. The Library's SearchPlus database provider, the Research Library at Los Alamos, is making every effort to reduce the impact of this necessary maintenance on its customers by performing this work after business hours and over a holiday weekend.

Fortunately, the NMSU Library offers a parallel database, Web of Science. Like SearchPlus, Web of Science provides complete access to Science Citation Index and Social Science Citation Index. Users who are familiar with the SearchPlus interface are encouraged to use the General Search feature in Web of Science because it is very similar to the SearchPlus search page.

Questions or concerns about these and other Library databases can be directed to Susan E. Beck at (575) 646-6171 (susabeck@nmsu.edu) or to an individual Library subject specialist (see list at http://lib.nmsu.edu/depts/collserv/sel-liai.shtml).
