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 […]

American Anthropologist and other AnthroSource links are now working in the ejournal A-Z list.

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 […]
SFX: Maintenance & Upgrade
On December 22nd & 23rd, SFX will be unavailable as we perform maintenance, updating and some system upgrading.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may […]
VPN, RSVPN: But am I really connected?
A patron swears they are connected to VPN or RSVPN at home, but they still can’t access a database. To see if they are really connected, have them go to CMYIP (see my IP). The IP address for VPN should start 142.103…, RSVPN starts 128.189… Different numbers, NOT connected. Advise patrons to clear their browser’s […]

Previously… Folks, as you may have seen from the Library Home page: “Two Library servers will undergo maintenance on Wednesday, Dec 03 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm. During […]
RSVPN re-boot
FYI: “RSVPN failover unit will be rebooted twice, during the following windows: Friday December 5th, 6-8am Saturday December 6th, 6-8am It is very unlikely that this will affect the RSVPN service…” Uh huh. But be aware, just in case.
