Scopus: New Design!
On February 1, 2014, Scopus released a new more action driven design. New redesign features include:
- Items or icons will only appear active when an action is performed. For example, the search history on the home page is not shown until a search is performed.
- Export options will be available when results are selected to export.
- Search results are easier to scan with options that appear only when results are selected.
- Author and Affiliation profiles have been condensed to optimize scanning.
- The reference manager Mendeley has been added to the export options.
- Once export options have been selected and saved, the next export can be done with just one click.

Celebrating Black History Month-Cincinnati's Ted Berry
By: Kevin Grace
With a grant awarded by the National Archives and Records Administration a few years ago, we were able to process our Theodore M. Berry Papers, a collection of nearly 200 boxes that documented the life and career of Ted Berry, UC alum, first African-American mayor of Cincinnati, and a national figure in the Civil Rights Movement. Communities around the nation are celebrating Black History Month in February, and on Tuesday The Ledger-Independent in 
Maysville, Kentucky ran a very nice article about Berry, based in large part on the website that was created for the grant project. Written for the newspaper by Marla Toncray, the article was picked up by Dawn Fuller in UC’s Public Information office.
We invite you to have a look at the article at http://maysville-online.com/news/local/theodore-m-berry-rise-from-poverty-to-politics/article_867ef0e1-2ebe-5c1c-91c1-ed3a399a37f4.html.
