The Government Shutdown and Tufts Boston

By On October 3, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Announcements

Here are a few quick informational tidbits on how the government shutdown may affect you and your research:

  • HNRCA is closed
  • PubMed, Ovid, NIH Reporter, NCBI, the CDC, Agricola and other databases relying on government data are not being updated and are not able to respond to inquiries
  • DOCLINE is down (no direct ordering of articles from PubMed/NLM)
  • Data.gov and other non-essential websites are shut down, for accessing data, try Data Citation Index through Web of Knowledge
  • Many government services are not being maintained or no longer allow access. Resources like PubMed are still running, but not being updated; and if hacked or broken, they may not be fixed in a timely manner. The libraries subscribe to many databases that provide access to the same information, but will be maintained and staffed since they are not government-run. For more on alternative resources to use in order to access government information, see the Tisch Library guide here: http://researchguides.library.tufts.edu/govshutdown
