As announced, our long planned PubMan release is now finished and the system is running in usual parameters again. The new release comprised some quite complex and far reaching technical changes basically in the background of the System, which did not lead to any changes in the well known usage of the PubMan surface. This means that all modifications are of a pure technical kind and there will be no new features or functional changes the user should be aware of. Due to the complexity of the modifications it took us quite some time to make sure the system will continue to fit the demands of our users in a proper and reliable way.

Fetching from SPIRES works again
The access troubles to SPIRES are solved…it might have been a temporary problem. In case you notice any troubles when fetching metadata from SPIRES, please contact us pubman-support@gwdg.de
Some troubles with SPIRES
The functionality „Fetch Metadata from SPIRES“ is currently not available, the servers on SPIRES-side do not react.
We have already informed SPIRES and are waiting for feedback.
„Fetching from arXiv“ is working without troubles, so you might have a chance to find your SPIRES article also in arXiv.
Happy New Year 2010
A happy new year to all our PubMan users!
And the new year has already some good news in store:
By the end of 2009 we were able to complete the migration of our second institute – a warm welcome to the MPI for Gravitational Physics! The migration process was characterized by a close collaboration: The institute has been working consistently on their data so that the migration team of the MPDL was finally able to migrate more than 2300 datasets (a lot of them with fulltexts or supplementary material) from eDoc to PubMan. As of January the institute will begin with the submission of new publications of the ongoing year.
Looking ahead the next migration candidates are already in preparation for the productive use of PubMan. So we look forward to having a lively and successful cooperation with all interested institutes and wish you a good start into the new year!
Yes we grow! (expected downtime on 11th of dec 2009)
We are growing;-)….With some new digitized collections of journal articles to come soon, we need to extend our storage space for PubMan. For that reason, PubMan will be down on Friday, 11th of dec for necessary hardware changes.

Browser compatibility and accessibility of PubMan
Please keep in mind always to use a browser version which is up-to-date. It’s release date should never date back more than 5 years (at least). Besides security aspects a current browser provides the ease of use modern web interfaces provide.
Due to the implementation of the underlying system older browsers may not support the browser back button properly (IE6) and Java Script is mandatory to run PubMan.
For browser compatibility and accessibility of user interfaces built by the user interface engineering team, please visit:
