Migration Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Here are some common FAQs during the initial stage of migration:
• Who can we contact about any technical questions?
EMAIL technicalsupport@rsc.org
• Where can I find migration information?
GO TO www.rsc.org/migration
• Where can I find Journals and eBooks URLs to update my system?
GO TO www.rsc.org/urls
• The page says ‘Loading failed’ or ‘Page load error’
We are working hard on the current speed of the new RSC Publishing platform. We are receiving more traffic on our new platform than the old website and we have identified some key areas where we can make improvements. These will be implemented this week and so you should see a significant difference.
If you do experience this issue in the meantime, please click ‘Back’ on your browser and repeat the action. This can help solve the issue.
• How do I access my usage statistics?
Continue to use your registered MPS username and Password
GO TO www.mpsinsight.com/rsc
We will continue to use MPS for usage statistics, but at the end of the year we will change ‘how’ you will access these. Please ensure you have your email address set up on MPS and not a retired colleague or someone no longer with your institution/organisation as their email will receive the notification and not yours.
• How can I set up a usage statistics account?
If you do not have a MPS usage statistic account set up – please request one from the Ejournals Team
EMAIL ejournals@rsc.org
• I am trying to login to the new RSC Librarians Portal with my MPS usage statistics username and password but it is not working?
The RSC Librarians Portal and MPS are two different systems and so your MPS usage statistics username and password will not work on the Librarians Portal. We are asking all our customers to create at least one Librarians Portal account per institution for additional administration tools.
This is a double registration process and you will receive three confirmation emails once the process is complete.

• Where can I find a list of FAQs?
