Known issues
- "Sort by title" is sorting on the inital article, such as "a" or "the". We are working with the vendors to fix this.
- Some results are missing some citation information or showing weird characters on our results screen. This is not always in our power to fix because sometimes the vendor of the database is sending through corrupt or incomplete data. We'll gradually fix the ones we can.
- Some databases are not sending the abstracts through to our system, even though they appear in the native interface (Proquest Research Library, for example). We are contacting the vendors about this.
- Databases from Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA) often time out at busy times of day.
- Some databases have a limit on the number of simultaneous users allowed in our license, so they sometimes will return an error when the seats are all in use.
- Certain databases will incorrectly return zero hits when the search query uses quoted phrases, more than one quoted phrase, or multiple words. We are working with the vendors to fix this.
