[Eril-l] GeoBib?

Wed Sep 30 07:02:13 PDT 2015

Hi, 

We ran into this a couple of weeks ago as well. I spoke to Angie Cope at UWM, and she replied with this message:

Hi Geraldine, 

Thanks for the call this morning about the CGP database. Toward the bottom of 
this page: 

http://uwm.edu/libraries/agsl/using/ 

is the link to the full CGP database and the newer CGP Contents database. 

I'll try to remember to email you when we resolve the interface issue 
otherwise, feel free to check back at that url for an updated link.

I hope this helps,

| Hi Tina,

| I contacted the UWM reference desk via their chat link a few weeks
| ago about this issue and they referred me to their specialist who
| provided the following response:

| Yes, it appears that the 1985-2005 Geobib database is no longer
| available. The data has been archived and we're trying to identify a
| new way to display it. It was in an Endeavor/Voyager interface which
| is no longer supported at UW Milwaukee.

| The current CGP Contents is still available here: http
| ://guides.library. uwm . edu /c. php ?g=56532&p=363510

| That link directs to a list of links within a LibGuide . We removed
| our link, but this seems to be the latest news regarding this issue.

| Sounds to me like you’re well on your way to becoming a great ERL!
| Sleuthing is a pretty big part of that job and this is a totally ok
| topic for this list.

| We have a link to GeoBib , too – and it’s also going somewhere weird.
| We’re a UW school, too, and I didn ’t know this was going away,
| either. (So thanks for the head’s up!) I have asked for more
| investigation from an internal UW listserv that handles collection
| management. Someone should be able to find out. I’ll respond to the
| list when I have an answer.

| Hi All,

| This is my first post to this list and I am a new ERL so I hope this
| is an appropriate question for the list. Our link to GeoBib is
| broken. We got a 404 directory error. So in searching I found
| reference to a new link, geobib .lib. uwm . edu however, that link
| goes someplace bizarre. I can't find an accurate new link. GeoBib
| seems to be a free resource from AGS / UWM . I contacted AGS and UWM
| to see if resource is still available and what the new URL is. UWM
| confirmed the link is not working and * think * the resource is no
| longer maintained. They suggested that I contact AGS which I have,
| but I have not had a reply. Anyone know if this resource is really
| gone? I don’t want to remove it from our database list without being
| more certain.

| Thanks,
| Tina
