[Eril-l] Access to Cabell's

[Neyer, Linda S]

Having run a faculty workshop on publishing opportunities this morning, Cabell's is fresh in my mind (not in a good way). Content from the Cabell Directory of Publishing Opportunities is now in the 'Whitelist'. Sometimes their old URL redirects and sometimes not; the new URL is https://www.cabells.com. Chrome seems to work best.

Once you've logged in, go to Advanced Search to access your subscriptions. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to Add Filter and select Disciplines & Topics, to display your subscriptions. The filter adds in below the Keyword field. Click on the drop down to select the disciplines or topics you want, click back INSIDE the Advanced Search box (or the search resets and you'll have to start over), and then click Search. A list will appear in alphabetical order. There is no way to sort or filter the results after a search. Very user-unfriendly. Here's a short screencast that shows how we're searching it: https://www.screencast.com/t/CxQYG3la
If you have found a better way to search Cabell's, please share. Frankly they need to hear from those of us on this list that sub. It's a terrible user interface.

Following -- we subscribe to their business titles and are having the same problem.

Cabell's has redesigned their website & we no longer seem to have access to any of our Cabell Directory of Publishing Opportunities titles. I haven't been able to get in touch with anyone there yet. Does anyone know if the URL has changed for these products?
