NEWS!!
On the positive side, we have resolved the problem with ebrary “Canada embargoed” ebooks. Only ebrary ebooks accessible in Canada will be listed moving forward. On the down side, the Catalogue records need to catch up and may be quirky for a day or two.
Just a quick update on what is going on in eResources & Access.

No CommentsKnovel eBooks: Wiley Titles Soon To Go
Posted on February 5, 2014 @3:55 pm by madgett
The ebook aggregator Knovel is pulling all its Wiley-Blackwell titles at the end of March. They had pulled access earlier, but restored it temporarily.

Posted on January 30, 2014 @2:20 pm by madgett
*They’re back, and all is right with the world!*
Yikes! The Catalogue and InterLibrary Loans (and more) are down at the moment.
Here is the official word:
Voyager is currently unavailable. Systems staff are working to rectify the issue. We don’t have a ETA at this time of when Voyager will be available. This is affecting Circulation, ILL, Opac authentication, reading rooms and various web services.
However, our discovery service, Summon, is still working and our online resources are functioning. To use Summon, go to the Library Homepage and under the “General” tab, insert your search terms. From the results, links to Print Books won’t work, but links to online resources should.
