Oxford access issue – ‘Unknown or Unusable Identity Provider’
Posted on September 27, 2023 @8:36 am by ryan regier
Issue is now fixed. Sept 27, 2023
UBC Users are seeing a ‘Unknown or Unusable Identity Provider’ when they try to access some Oxford databases such as Oxford Music Online or Oxford Research Encyclopedias.
We are working to solve the issue as quickly as possible.
As a workaround, place this URL text in from the the Oxford website address that you wish to access. This will give you access after you login with your CWL: https://proxy.openathens.net/login?qurl=
For example, to access Oxford Music Online, use https://proxy.openathens.net/login?qurl=https://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/
No CommentseResources moving to ServiceNow
Posted on September 21, 2023 @9:36 am by ryan regier
On Monday, September 25 2023 the Library eResources’ Team will begin using ServiceNow as our ticketing and workflow system. ServiceNow replaces JIRA as the tool eResources uses for tracking and communicating on reported eResource issues from patrons and library staff.
This switch to ServiceNow means the eResources is now using the same ticketing system as UBC IT and Library Accounts, streamlining the ticket solving process.
Patrons and staff can continue to use the eResource Help Form to submit issues and you will now receive ticket update emails from the Service Desk email: service.helpdesk@ubc.ca
Updates to your eResource Tickets can also now be found in the UBC Self Service Portal under ‘View My Tickets’ https://ubc.service-now.com/selfservice
eResources will continue to monitor JIRA for internal tickets transferred by other Library Departments.
Thanks in advance for your patience during this transition and please let us know if we’ve missed any links in our documentation pointing to JIRA instead of ServiceNow.

No CommentsOxford 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
