Access not working to De Gruyter eBooks

Posted on February 7, 2024 @11:33 am by ryan regier

Issue is now fixed. Feb 7, 2024

Access is not working for De Gruyter eBooks. Users are not recognized as coming from UBC on the De Gruyter and will see “Requires Authentication”

As a solution, login to De Gruyter using the “Access through your institution” on the De Gruyter page and search for UBC.

You can also place this prefix in front of a De Gruyter website link to access: https://proxy.openathens.net/login?qurl=

For example: https://proxy.openathens.net/login?qurl=https://doi.org/10.36019/9781978829053

Access will also work when coming through the De Gruyter Resource Page https://resources.library.ubc.ca/page.php?details=de-gruyter-ebook-collections&id=2459

“Sorry Not Found” errors with Bloomsbury, DeGruyter, and John Benjamins eBooks

Posted on January 10, 2024 @8:55 am by ryan regier

We are seeing some ongoing issues with some eBooks from Bloomsbury, DeGruyter, and John Benjamins giving ‘Sorry not found’ errors from our Library Search.

These are being caused by metadata links that need to be manual fixed, so the problem may take some time to fully resolve.

As a workaround, go to the Resource Page for the Publisher and then search the book title on the Publisher website:

Also feel free to just contact us here and we will provide a direct working link to the eBook
