Global Market Information Database UPDATE LATEST

Posted on December 4, 2008 @4:11 pm by irobb

Hazzah!

GMID is back in business. And, wait for it, the old error message problem seems to be cured as well.
Enjoy.

Previously…
Due to issues with the EZproxy server, GMID will likely not be available till Wednesday, Dec. 10. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please watch for further updates.

Previously…
The GMID is currently unavailable. Attempts to access lead to a log-in screen asking for a password. Your Library card number should normally by-pass this screen and take you to the familiar “I Agree” button. The problem may be a hold-over from past issues or a result of the EZproxy being down. We are looking into it. Stay tuned.

EZproxy & Links to Print Journals BACK UP

Posted on December 3, 2008 @3:39 pm by irobb

The links are back and working from the A-Z ejournal list, the eLink menu, Catalogue Quick Search journal box, etc. EZ proxy is mostly working (see GMID posting).

Previously…
Folks, as you may have seen from the Library Home page:

“Two Library servers will undergo maintenance on Wednesday, Dec 03 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm. During this time, access to applications such as the New Materials website, the Chung Collection Inventory, the Media Booking and Course Reserves forms, and EZPROXY rewriting proxy service will be unavailable.”

As well, links from the A-Z ejournal list to print records are not working and searching from the “Journal/Ejournal” box on the Catalogue page is not working. (Searching in the Catalogue itself works). Let’s hope this is all resolved by 6:00pm as promised.

RSVPN re-boot

Posted on December 1, 2008 @10:50 am by irobb

FYI:

“RSVPN failover unit will be rebooted twice, during the following windows:
Friday December 5th, 6-8am
Saturday December 6th, 6-8am
It is very unlikely that this will affect the RSVPN service…”

Uh huh. But be aware, just in case.

SAGE Journals – full archive not available

Posted on April 19, 2013 @10:16 pm by madgett

Our access to SAGE Journals content has recently changed.
Until recently, we enjoyed access to the complete backfile for all SAGE journal titles. This has now been restricted to start with access from 1999. We continue to have access to the complete backfile for all titles that are part of the Full-Text Collections on both the SAGE Journals Online and CSA Illumina platforms.

Our CRKN contract with SAGE is currently in negotiation with the publisher and options for access to all SAGE journal content are being explored.
