This month’s Director’s blog features a miscellany of notable WSJ articles along with recent scholarship published by Fuqua faculty authors in online & print scholarly journals. Ford Library helps fund access for these journals for Duke and Fuqua. Fuqua authors’ names are in italics.

From the WSJ – All of the linked articles below require a WSJ.com account which you can create here. Ford Library and Goodson Law Library have co-funded your access to personal accounts on WSJ.com.

• West Virginia Creates Jobs Farming Lavender at Former Coal Mines – Jocelyn Sheppard, 61, who has degrees in English and library science, is president of Appalachian Botanical, a company banking on the hope that repurposing former mines as lavender farms can help diversify the state’s economy, create jobs and clean up the environment.
• Goldman Sachs, Other Financial Firms Back Program to Diversify Wall Street – Bloomberg LP, Centerbridge Partners LP and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are funding a new program to train, mentor and hire students for careers in the financial sector in a push to bring more women and minorities to the industry.
• Facebook Disables Access for NYU Research Into Political-Ad Targeting – The Library Director comments: If you’re doing data-driven research and need to build a research or article corpus, don’t do it this way. The NYU Ad Observatory, launched last September by the university’s engineering school, recruited more than 6,500 volunteers to use a special browser extension to collect data about the political ads Facebook shows them. Soon after, Facebook, which hadn’t given permission for the project, demanded the researchers cease collecting the data.

Featured Fuqua Faculty Research

• US Tropical Disease Priority Review Vouchers: Lessons In Promoting Drug Development And Access, David Ridley, Pranav Ganapathy et al., Health Affairs, 40(8), Aug 2021.
• Categorical Competition in the Wake of Crisis: Banks vs. Credit Unions, Aaron Chatterji et al., Organization Science, 32(3), May-Jun 2021.

This month’s Director’s blog shares Tips for Tech Success in Ford Library. When new students come to Fuqua, mastering basic technology tasks such as connecting to Fuqua networks, printing in the Library, and others can be a little overwhelming! We hope these tips will help.

Tech success starts with synchronizing Your Duke Net ID password.

• Use your laptop or our stacks computer and browse to https://oit.duke.edu/selfservice, and login with your Duke Net ID (e.g. jdoe123) and password.
• At the right of the Self Service home page, in the NET ID section, click on “+ Change your password”.
• Enter your current password, and then create a new password that meets these guidelines in the appropriate boxes, and click “Submit”.

Why do I have to do this? – Your brand new Duke Net ID password allows you to login to computers on the Duke WIN network domain, but not computers on the FUQUA domain. Once you create and submit the new password, it will be “synced” across all Duke network domains in about 5 minutes, allowing you to login to any public computer at Fuqua.

New Resources – DE&I Emphasis

This section features new online content we’ve added. This month’s entry will focus on DE&I content. Enjoy!

• New Scholarly Journal – Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion: an international journal
  – Many thanks to Fuqua Prof. Angelica Leigh for her recommendation!
• New on Duke OverDrive – Black Fortunes: the Story of the First Six African Americans Who Escaped Slavery and Became Millionaires, by Shomari Wills.

Beginning on Nov. 22^nd, at the beginning of Fall/Thanksgiving break, the Fuqua buildings and the Library facility will only be accessible by Fuqua faculty and staff.

This change in access aligns with directions provided by Fuqua Dean Bill Boulding which state, in part, that Fuqua will not hold any in-person classes or activities at Fuqua after Fall Term 1 exams end on November 21^st.  Classes from November 30-December 18^th will be entirely online.

Since the surveillance COVID testing which permits student access to Fuqua will not be conducted from 11/30 – 12/18,  students will not be able to access the Fuqua buildings from November 22^nd until baseline testing resumes around the first of the year.

In-person student access to Ford Library will resume in January once baseline testing has resumed, and upon approval by the Fuqua Administration.

Please note that Ford Library’s remote services and research support via chat or email will continue from 11/22 – 12/18, and in a limited way throughout the Winter Break.

If you’re having trouble getting access to Capital IQ or PitchBook (in particular) or to a Library-provided database in general; this blog post contains a proven fix for most issues.

Since Duke & Fuqua shifted to online classes, the heavier use of different online resource sites increases the chances that your authentication browser cookies become “corrupted” or invalid over time — particularly if you forget to logout from a site when you’re done.

Clearing Your Browser Cache and Cookies “For All Time”

In most browsers, pressing Shift+Ctrl+Del will bring up a dialog box to “Clear All History”. The title and appearance of the dialog may vary depending on your browser, but the options should be the same.

Make sure the time range is set to “Everything” or “For All Time” . At a minimum, tick the boxes for Active Logins, Cookies, and Cache. Then click “Clear Now”.

Now close (exit) your browser entirely. Don’t just close the tab. Shut down the browser and re-start it. Now you’re ready to return to the Library database site, and re-try your access.

What If That Doesn’t Help? Are you using VPN?

PitchBook and S&P Capital IQ both require an active VPN session as well as registered accounts on those sites. Fuqua users may have forgotten to select the Fuqua School of Business VPN option when connecting.

Try the following:

1)   Disconnect from your current VPN session, and exit the software.

2)   Clear your web browser’s cache and cookies completely (i.e. for all time), and then close/exit your browser completely (see above).

3)   Re-start your VPN software and enter vpn.duke.edu in the 1^st pop-up. box.

4)   In the next dialog box, Fuqua users should choose Fuqua School of Business as your Group (see below):

Other Duke users not affiliated with Fuqua should pick the VPN option most appropriate to their affiliation.

Then click connect to connect to a VPN session.

5) Now re-start your browser, and re-try your connection to the desired database (PitchBook or Capital IQ).

Final (and crucial!) Pro Tip

Always use the connection link to a database from a Library web site — never from a bookmark, or a Google link.

Ford Library A-Z Database List – https://library.fuqua.duke.edu/databases/index.php
Duke Libraries Database Finder – https://guides.library.duke.edu/az.php

The above links can be used by any Duke-affiliated person to find databases.

Still Can’t Connect?

Email us screenshots of any error messages, and provide as much detail as you can, and we’ll do our best to help!
