Looks like there is a server problem on campus. This is affecting several things, including our ability to bring up the various pages that link to journals.
Please be patient as the IT folks work on this.
The Cambridge Journals site is down. They say it may be back up later today or tomorrow. Stay tuned.
The Cambridge Histories Online site (ebooks) is working fine.
“Discover the working methods of Romantic poets and trace the evolution of celebrated verse in this powerful digital resource.

Raining outside? Snow? Who cares! Put on a pot of tea, curl up with the laptop and explore Romanticism: Life, Literature and Landscape.
*UPDATE* Chinese interface now working, but connection to Chinese & English very slow.*
*BONUS* .pdf files (not working in Firefox for about a month) are now opening.*
Per our good friends at East View:
“The Chinese interface for the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database platform (http://cnki.zh.eastview.com) is currently unavailable. East View is working to resolve this problem, and we will send out a notice as soon as access returns to normal. Please note that CNKI databases are currently available via the English interface at http://cnki.en.eastview.com.“–28no2011 email
So, in the ejournal Portal (the ejournal A-Z list), chose the “English” site –when it’s an option– for now. Stay tuned.
*Update* CSA is back up*
Apologies to people desperately trying to access the CSA Standards via the IHS platform. We are still waiting for them to resolve this access problem.
If you have further questions, please contact the folks in Science & Engineering.

Be prepared for turbulence as you travel the internet.
Access to all Gale databases from on campus has been lost this morning. The problem seems to be somewhere between here and their servers.
Off-campus access via EZproxy & myVPN seems to be working fine. Stay tuned.
