No CommentsEBSCO eBooks: Off-Line Downloading to End Temporarily
Posted on January 31, 2012 @1:58 pm by madgett
Currently, on the EBSCO eBook platform you can download ebooks off-line. Unfortunately, as the majority are single-user ebooks, this means no one else can access the ebook for 7 days. In order to make accessing fairer to all, we will be temporarily suspending off-line downloading on the EBSCO eBook platform later this week.
This move also brings EBSCO ebooks more into line with ebrary ebooks: single-user ebrary ebooks cannot be downloaded off-line either (multi-user ebooks on ebrary can).
The ability to download, email or print .pdf pages or sections (in most cases up to 60 pages) on EBSCO eBooks platform should not be affected.

The SAE Digital Library access is not working for the moment. We are talking to the vendor and hope to get this sorted soon.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Stay Tuned.

No CommentsSpringerLINK eBooks: 2012 Titles Not Available Yet
Posted on April 11, 2012 @9:49 am by madgett
*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 ebook that is published by “Springer” and has a date of “2012” and you cannot get access to it, please still report it via out Help Form, but be aware that access may not be possible.
Sorry for any inconvenience and confusion this may cause.
