Oxford eBook Records not linking to eBooks
Posted on August 29, 2023 @1:25 pm by ryan regier
A large number of Oxford ebooks in the catalog are not linking directly to the ebook and instead leaving the user at the general Oxford website.
For example the record for Foundations of global health & human rights will leave the user at the general Oxford Scholarship Online Page: https://academic.oup.com/oxford-scholarship-online?login=true
We are working to fix this linking issue. In the meantime, you can search for the title on the Oxford page to get access.
Links in Summon to Oxford eBooks still work. You can search for the books there to get access and use the permanent links in Summon to share links to the books. e.g. https://go.exlibris.link/Q8Sz79jL

Issue is now fixed. July 26, 2023
We are seeing an access issue for some publications with Duke University Press from our Library Searches.
When clicking the link to an Item, you will be take to a Crossref ‘Find this content at the locations below’ page:
When selecting the Duke University Press option you will hit a Open Athens ‘There isn’t anything to show here’ Error.
A workaround is to copy the Duke DOI link from the Crossref page (e.g. https://doi.org/10.1215/9780822372127) and open it the link in a new tab.
Once the page has loaded, copy and paste the Open Athens Redirector in front of the page link and it will provide you with access – https://go.openathens.net/redirector/ubc.ca?url=
We are working on getting this issue fixed so you don’t need to rely on this workaround.
