Summon & Citation Linker : Downtime Longer than Expected
Apologies for the longer than expected downtime of Summon, the Citation Linker (UBC eLink) and the eJournal Portal over the weekend of October 29th & 30th. These systems are maintained by a 3rd-party provider (ProQuest) on servers located off campus (meaning, in “the Cloud”). Initially, they expected the downtime to be two brief windows on […]

Too Many “Citation Online” Results in Summon?
**UPDATE** The initial problem has been fixed. Articles are appearing as they should when we have full-text access. However, a second problem has cropped up. Several ebook titles (and some ejournals titles) where removed in error from the Catalogue (and in some cases Summon). As a result, while we still have access to, for example, […]
Summon’s “Citation Online” Results: Wrong Journal Error
For search results in Summon (the primary search box from the Library Homepage) that point to “Journal Article : Citation Online“, all results currently point to the journal “Transactions of the ASABE”. This is a coding error that Summon is working to fix. Sorry for the inconvenience this is causing; but take note: Journal Article […]
H.W. Wilson Databases have Moved to EBSCOhost
EBSCO has taken over the H.W. Wilson databases. These are primarily Education, Humanities, Social Science, Fine Art, Architecture and Law focused Index & Abstract databases —some with Full Text. As a result, the following Resource pages now point to EBSCOhost sites rather than H.W.

SpringerLINK eBooks: 2012 Titles Not Available Yet
*UPDATE* SpringerLink 2012 ebooks are now available! Records for the 2012 SpringerLINK ebooks were added (our mistake) to the Catalogue and Summon before we had the access organized. In fact, due to higher-than-expected costs, it is probable that many 2012 SpringerLINK ebooks will not be purchased by the Library. So, if you come across an […]
