We are seeing an ongoing issue with resources that use EZProxy for access producing a 503 Service Error.
This includes resources like:
Pitchbook – https://resources.library.ubc.ca/page.php?details=pitchbook&id=2710
Passport – https://resources.library.ubc.ca/page.php?details=passport-gmid&id=572
Any resource that has ‘ezproxy’ in the URL to access it will be impacting by this issue.
We are working to get this resolved as fast as we can!

Apologies for the inconvenience!
The National Film Board (NFB) has lost rights to some of their hosted films and are now actively negotiating to get them back.
Luckily it currently only appears to be a small amount of films that we have lost access to. We are still working to identify which films specifically, but since NFB is still actively negotiating, we don’t have an accurate list.
They hope to get us an accurate list in the next couple weeks.If you come across a film in the catalogue that we have lost access to, please report to eResources.
Knovel will now prompt users to log-in to (or create an) Elsevier Account before accessing. eResources is investigating getting this removed so users can have direct access just through the Library.
