On Wednesday last week, the EBSCO company suddenly transformed the interface of three of our most valuable indexes : Old Testament Abstracts (OTA), New Testament Abstracts (NTA), and the Catholic Periodical and Literature Index (CPLI).
We worked for three days to rewrite our guide to these databases, with new explanations and images. You will now find the updated guide on our Tutorials page. We are continuing to monitor this situation, however, because some of the features of the new interface don't seem to be functioning properly. We hope these are temporary glitches that will soon be corrected.
Library users need to be aware that ALL electronic resources can morph without warning -- the access location changes, the interface is redesigned, we lose our license to a resource entirely. Unfortunately, the vendors have sole control over a lot of these factors. We try to be vigilant about these changes, post announcements and keep our instructional materals current. But if you spot problems with our tutorials and guides, or broken links on any of our web pages, please let us know!
