New search linking from EBSCOhost to the UBC Catalogue for Journals
When searching in EBSCOhost Databases, you will now see a new link next to Journal / Article results that has a “rainbow” book case:

This link will search for the journal ISSN in the UBC Catalogue so that you can see what Print holdings (as well as Online) the Library has. This will be particularly helpful for articles with poor or no images (when we have the Print) or for locating Archives of a journal (Print or Online) that go back farther than the EBSCOhost full text holdings.

Wiley OnLine Library Moving UPDATE Moved March 17 or 18 2018
Well, looks like the move happened. Site looks different and has some changes to functionality, I believe. Have a look HERE.
Please talk to your Subject or Liaison Librarian if you have any questions about using the site or its features. Contact us at the Help Form below to report any problems.
=======
We were just advised that Wiley will be migrating to their new platform this weekend [March 17th or 18th]. Redirects will be in place, but there will be no dual access period. Wiley does not anticipate any downtime. Although the base URL remains the same, the URLs at the journal level will be changing
Please report any problems to our Help Form.

UPDATE: Seems to be working again.
Unfortunately, the Library catalogue is down. UBC IT has a bulletin HERE.
Other discovery services, like Summon, are working – but any links from Summon results to the Cataloge do not work.
Watch UBC IT Bulletins and this post for updates.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
