eResources Blog
“What’s up with E-Resources, now?!”
Does the Blog Look a Little Funny? *UPDATE*
Okay, a bit of tweaking, a lot of swearing, a moment or two of panic (I thought I’d lost the whole damn thing at one point) but I think it’s coming along not too bad. More is to come, when I find the time. And apologies to my fellow workers who have had to listen […]
Ovid & Safari: Do They Get Along?
Do + = ? Not necessarily. The official word from Ovid is: “While Safari normally works with Ovid it is not supported. We do not test our application against the Safari browser and don’t guarantee that it will work.” And their view on browser requirements can be seen at OvidSP Configuration We have tested Apple’s […]
SAGE ejournals: SITES *Back Up*
All SAGE sites & ejournals seem to be up and running. Previously… Some ejournals are back online, others are not. Sorry, it seems very hit and miss at the moment. Stay tuned. Previously… Mondays! Arrrg. The SAGE ejournal platform seems to be down now. Stay tuned.
EZproxy SERVER: *BACK UP*
EZProxy is back. Previously… EZProxy has fallen victim to the Monday blahs and is currently not working. We hope to have it re-booted soon. Resources authenticated via EZProxy (like our good friend GMID) are unavailable. Stay tuned.
Informaworld SITE: DOWN *UPDATE 2*
Informaworld is back, but very slow. Previously… Monday’s here, Informaworld is not. Stay tuned. Previously… Taylor & Francis Informaworld (slow at the best of times) is down as of Friday at 6:00 pm. I’ll check again Monday to see if it’s back. Sun NOT websites this weekend.
RefWorks & Illumina: Maintenance this Weekend
To quote: “We need to upgrade the operating system on our central storage array this weekend. The work is scheduled to begin at 10pm on Sunday March 8 and end by 1pm on Monday March 9. Because so many Scholars Portal services make use of the storage array, we need to schedule downtime for the […]
MyiLibrary & UBC Wireless: *Reminder*
For wireless / laptop users, MyiLibrary will ask for a login and password if you try to link to a title from the OPAC, unless you connect via VPN. To avoid this, you need to connect to VPN after you log onto the UBC wireless network but before clicking the link from the OPAC record. […]
Contemporary Women’s Issues: No Access *UPDATE*
CWI is back in action. Previously… Contemporary Women’s Issues database (from Gale / RDS) does not recognize us. I have contacted Gale. Stay tuned.
Google Scholar & eLink: .ca VS .com *UPDATE*
A plugin called LibX seems to play a roll in the way eLink buttons are displayed. Ed from Systems reports Google is also going to run an update (soon?). So, keep watching for an improvement on this front. Previously… We are not sure why (we are investigating) but the eLinks show up better in Firefox […]
American Geophysical Union: Website Down*UPDATE*
www.agu.org and all its web pages are back. Previously… The wheel-o-death, she spins and spins. All American Geophysical Union ( www.agu.org ) journal sites are down. Stay tuned for their return.
