The Young Reference Desk is making some changes to its email service to improve delivery and response. The process, however, may cause some initial access issues for those of you who have used the Reference Desk email service before. For Outlook users and probably users of other email applications, choosing an autocomplete email address or drawing the email address from a weblink on the Libraries' website will cause your email to be rejected until you follow the process below.

1. Delete the autocomplete address or the weblink-supplied address for the Young Reference Desk email service in the To: line of your email message.

2. Type refdesk@uky.edu manually in the To: line (even though the address you deleted may look identical).

3. Compose and send your email as usual. 

Subsequent emails to UK Libraries Reference Desk should resolve properly, even if you use the autocomplete address from your email application.

If you still receive an error message when you send your email after retyping the address, please call the Young Reference desk at 

859.218-2048 and tell us what email application you are using and what error message you receive.

We are sorry for any inconvenience.

The Wiley Online Library and Cochrane Library will be unavailable from 5:00 am until 9:00 am on Saturday, August 8, 2014 due to scheduled maintenance.

The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry is scheduled to upgrade their platform during the week of August 3rd, 2014.  During this time the journal site may become unavailable.  The site upgrade includes the following changes:

• The home page for the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry will be http://www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/pages/home.aspx
• Although article.psychiatrist.com addresses will continue to function so that users will not have to update their bookmarks, those URLs will become simple redirects to new URLs
• All TOCs for The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry will be found in this directory: http://www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/toc/pages/
• All articles for The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry will be found in this directory: http://www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/article/pages/
• No longer will there be separate URLs for abstracts and full-text articles: If a user is logged in, the user will see the full text (if available) and a link to the PDF; if a user is not logged in, the user will see the abstract. If an institution accesses our site by IP address authentication, they will be automatically logged in once they go to the website.
•  As in the past, CME materials will require an Individual user (as opposed to an Institutional user) to be logged in to view them; this is for tracking of users’ CME credits
