ebrary Reader: Avoid RSVPN
Hope everyone has had a look at the ebrary ebooks and the new reader. For those connecting from off campus, RSVPN [see larger post above] is not an option at the moment. Both the QuickView and the ebrary Reader display a gray wall rather than text. Please use VPN (see the Connect from Home page).
OvidSP: Access *UPDATE*
Ovid is now connecting from all machines that it should connect from now. Some hospital branches had problems as well, but word has come in that they are OK now [except for RSVPN issues, see above]. Direct as many positive thoughts as possible towards Ovid’s Texas server. Previously… Certain staff work stations at Woodward cannot […]

SFX Interuption: January 4th. Very Brief *UPDATE*
SFX is back. All looks OK. Previously… SFX (the eLink button, etc.) will be out for a brief moment tonight around 10:00… no more than 45 minutes or so, we’re told. This is not related to the other outage below.
eResources Interuptions: January 14th. *UPDATE*
We’re back. All looks OK. Previously… From 6 – 7 pm tonight, certain UBC eResource websites will not be available due to server maintenance. Any URL with http://toby.library.ubc.ca in it may go down.

RSVPN & Some Journals: Server Unavailable Message *UPDATE*
EGADS! Sadly, this problem seems a little deeper. RSVPN is not connecting into some databases/journals. This is proving tricky to solve. For those that can, please try the VPN connection (see link in message below). For those that can’t (some hospital sites, for example), our apologies. Do let us know at lib-ejhelp@interchange.ubc.ca if you encounter […]
AnthroSource Titles: Links **UPDATE**
American Anthropologist and other AnthroSource links are now working in the ejournal A-Z list. Previously… AnthroSource (the site for journals the American Anthropological Association) has re-vamped their entire website. While it looks great, the links to the journals no longer work. You can go directly to the list of journals here, but hopefully our links […]
eResources Christmas Schedule: lib-ejhelp / lib-elinkhelp
‘Tis the season for being elsewhere. And in that spirit, eResources is running away. There will be no help on the other end of lib-ejhelp nor lib-elinkhelp from Dec. 20th till Jan. 5th. But to make up for any hurt feelings this may cause, we promise to be extra helpful in the New Year. And […]

This means that the yellow UBC eLink button will not work those days, nor will the Citation Linker. The links in the ejournal A-Z list will NOT be affected by this. Sorry for any inconvenience this may […]
