Users of Naxos Music Library may experience issues with page loading. We’re working with the publisher on resolving the issue.
Error message: When clicking on an album, it fails to load on the first click and lands on a blank page.
Workaround: If refreshed, the page loads with full functionality. In addition, on the homepage, click open in a new tab on any album title, and it will load as expected in the new tab.

Access is not working for De Gruyter eBooks. Users are not recognized as coming from UBC on the De Gruyter and will see “Requires Authentication”
As a solution, login to De Gruyter using the “Access through your institution” on the De Gruyter page and search for UBC.
You can also place this prefix in front of a De Gruyter website link to access: https://proxy.openathens.net/login?qurl=
For example: https://proxy.openathens.net/login?qurl=https://doi.org/10.36019/9781978829053
Access will also work when coming through the De Gruyter Resource Page https://resources.library.ubc.ca/page.php?details=de-gruyter-ebook-collections&id=2459

We are seeing some ongoing issues with some eBooks from Bloomsbury, DeGruyter, and John Benjamins giving ‘Sorry not found’ errors from our Library Search.
These are being caused by metadata links that need to be manual fixed, so the problem may take some time to fully resolve.
As a workaround, go to the Resource Page for the Publisher and then search the book title on the Publisher website:
Also feel free to just contact us here and we will provide a direct working link to the eBook

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.
