How to get access to new articles from Elsevier
As of July 2018, Swedish universities have limited access to journals from Elsevier, one of the world’s largest scientific publishers. However, employees at Karlstad University can still access new articles through the interlibrary lending service, ”Get it now”.
Magazines published by Elsevier between January 1, 1995 and June 30, 2018 are still available through the usual channels. Articles published before, or after, said period can be borrowed through the interlibrary lending services. In most cases, you will find links to the interlibrary services via KAUlink on the library's various search services and databases.

Swedish universities are cancelling large publishing agreement
Swedish universities, including Karlstad University, have decided to terminate the agreement with Elsevier, one of the world's largest scientific publishers. The reason is that the parties did not agree on open access
Elsevier is one of the world's largest scientific publishers. In 2017, Swedish universities paid approximately 120 million SEK for subscriptions to electronic journals to the publisher, of which Karlstad University accounted for almost 1.2 million SEK. In addition, researchers who wanted to publish their research and make it openly available have paid for this – in 2017 Swedish researchers paid 13 million SEK in total.

Relocation of books by subject code and number
This week we will start a relocation project. Books that currently are placed in numerical order (2015: 344), will be relabelled and placed by subject.
The books will be marked with a subject code and a sequence number, for example V 2011: 1 or Im 2017:20. This will make it easier both to find books by subject, but also to find newly acquired books.
The relocation of the books are expected to be completed by autumn semester 2018. If you can not find a book on the shelf, please talk to the staff and we will reserve it for you. The book will be available again after it has been relabelled, usually the following day.
