No CommentsMany eJournals Missing from Catalogue… for now
Posted on September 15, 2010 @9:30 am by irobb
*UPDATE* ejournal records are back in the Catalogue… and working!
Those familiar with ejournals at the UBC Library know that there are two quick ways to find links from the Library’s web space:
- via the ejournal A-Z list
- via the Library Catalogue
Unfortunately, some work on the Catalogue ejournal records is still underway. As a result, many ejournal records are missing at the moment. So, please make the ejournal A-Z list your first stop for ejournal title searching.
As always, please contact eResources if you have questions.

No CommentsPrint Journals & eJournals in the OPAC: a Change to Online Linking
Posted on August 26, 2010 @12:51 pm by irobb
"But is it online?!"
As you may have noticed, there have been some changes in how the UBC Online Public Access Catalogue (the OPAC) looks. One change involves the addition of a blue “Action Box” on the right when you look at an item’s record. For print journals and ejournals this Action Box means the following:
- within print journal records, you will see
within the Action Box —if the record has an issn. The UBC eLink button searches our SFX knowledgebase to try and find a link to an online version of the journal. - within ejournal records, you will see
within the Action Box (the Online Access button also appears for ebooks). This button means there should be online access to full-text articles in the journal.
And as always, if you have any questions, please use our Help Form.
