UPDATE : Issue has been temporarily resolved. IF you had problems in the past, please clear history (cache & cookies) from your browser and try to set up a folder now. Contact us if problems persist via our Help Form.
Due to technical difficulties that EBSCOhost is aware of (and working on), patrons cannot create an EBSCOhost personal folder while off campus and using EZproxy. To create a folder, patrons must be on campus using a Library computer, UBCSecure Wireless or other computer with a recognized UBC IP address. You can tell if you are at a recognized IP because the UBC crest will appear on the left side of the screen (EZproxy, as mentioned, is the exception. The crest is there, but you cannot create a folder).
After you create a folder on campus, you can log into it when you access a UBC Library subscribed EBSCOhost database off campus via EZproxy.
We will update this post as EBSCOhost works on this problem.
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.
On April 29th 2018,Technical Services was pleased to welcome members of the Library’s Development and Administration team for a tour of our facilities and to meet our staff.

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: RefWorks reports that this is fixed.
New RefWorks and Google Docs are not working together.
There is a system wide problem with New RefWorks not working with Google Docs. RefWorks is working on resolving this issue.
Instead of Google Docs, please use another word processor, such as MS Word.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
