ALPSP Learned Journals: EZproxy Error Message
Posted on November 30, 2010 @6:05 pm by irobb
*EZproxy working for this collection now. Clear browser’s cache & cookies and link away*
Linking to the ALPSP Learned Journals Collection from our ejournal A-Z list or via SFX (our OpenURL resolver) is leading to an error message some thing like…
To allow http://www.swetswise.com/link/access_db?issn=1387-2877 to be used in a starting point URL, your EZproxy administrator must first authorize the hostname of this URL in the config.txt file.
Within this database’s section of config.txt, either the following line must be added:
Host www.swetswise.com
====================
We are looking into the problem. To get around this error on campus only, you can cut & paste whichever URL appears after the “To allow” (at the start of the message). Stay tuned.

*UPDATE* UBC-O IPs seem to have been fixed. The Welcome Mat is laid out again, northern friends!

In the meanwhile, UBC-O folks will probably will have to access Wiley journals via MyVPN even if on campus.

No CommentseResources: Indexes & Databases => Broken
Posted on October 12, 2010 @5:23 pm by irobb
*UPDATE* The link to Infexes & Databases is working again. However, Library staff who were working on Resource info pages yesterday, or Subject Guides or Course Pages may want to review the work as the problem server has reverted back to an October 11th, archived version. LSIT (Systems) will be sending out an email to staff.
The link from the Library Homepage (and possibly other links elsewhere) to the Indexes and Databases page(s) is broken. Dedicated Library Systems folks are working on it. There are reports of other glitches, but they seem to have been resolved. Stay tuned!
No CommentsGreenFILE: Undergoing Some Adjustment
Posted on October 8, 2010 @5:50 pm by irobb
GreenFILE
*UPDATE* UBC eLink is in GreenFILE now.
Do to some ongoing adjustments by the provider of the GreenFILE database, the familiar UBC eLink button… …is not displaying next to articles. To see if we have an article, take the citation information for an article found in GreenFILE and plug it into our Citation Linker (use the Linker’s Advanced Search). It’s not the best solutions, but this problem may take a couple weeks to fix. Stay tuned.
