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.
No CommentsSAGE 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.

We’ve had reports from users that they are being denied access to a some of UBC Library online resources
