eBooks @ EBSCOhost : Firefox 45 Not Working
UPDATE – Temporary Fix But…
Per EBSCOhost:
“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of eBook PDFs not loading in Firefox 45 and above. This issue is a result of an update to the Firefox code base which is incompatible with our eBook viewer. We are working to fully resolve this issue as soon as possible and in the meantime have implemented a fix that has restored access to eBook PDFs in Firefox.”
“A byproduct of this fix is loss of page-to-page vertical scrolling for eBooks in Firefox, though all other navigation options remain available: table of contents links, page back and forward arrows, and entering a page number into the page number box.”
=====
eBooks on the EBSCOhost platform don’t seem to want to open their PDF files in Firefox 45 – currently on UBC Library computers.
Please use Internet Explorer on the Library computers. On your own computer, any other browser should be okay. We’re working on it!
APS (American Physical Society) Journals – EZproxy Access Down
UPDATE! – Access was restored April 19th.
Due to excessive downloading attempts, American Physical Society (APS) has blocked access via EZproxy. We are working on a resolution. Stay Tuned
Oxford Journals – New URLs Causing Problems
Due to a change in how URLs are formatted (http VS https), some Oxford Journals are popping up error messages on and off campus.
Hopefully, this will be resolved soon.
In the meanwhile, report problems to us via our Help Form. A work around (on campus only) is to take the problem URL in the error message, for example:
http://ezproxy.library.ubc.ca/login?url=https://jiplp.oxfordjournals.org/
…and use just this part of it:
https://jiplp.oxfordjournals.org/
BUT this only works on campus.

Closed for the Holidays (eResources Help Team)
Hello & Happy Whateveryoucaretocelebrate!
The team here is a little bushed, so we are taking a break over the holiday season.
The eResources & Access Team, will be away from December 24th till January 4th. Please continue to submit your questions/problems via our Help Form during that time, and we will get to them ASAP in the New Year.
…but don’t you deserve a break, too?
PubMed & Wolters Kluwer / Ovid Links
If you are presented with this option for Linking Out of PubMed to an article, either click on the UBC eLink icon or
go to the “LinkOut -more Resources” drop-down under the Abstract and select the “Ovid Technologies, Inc.” link.
This is especially important when off campus and logging in through EZproxy as a pop-up window which offers two buttons (one for OvidSP & one for LWW Journals) drops out of EZproxy.
This will take some time to resolve. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Off-Campus Access to Wiley Down
Wiley Online Library will be unavailable on Saturday 7th November 2015 from 10:00-16:00 GMT / 05:00-11:00 EST / 18:00-00:00 SGT for essential maintenance. Apologies for the inconvenience.
