RESOLVED! We now have access to Emerald Management Plus journals. 258 titles.
Due to unforeseen problems –which we are sorting out with the publisher– we do not have access to the latest issues of journals on the Emerald platform. These are mostly business journals. We hope to have the problem resolved shortly. Stay tuned!
When the problems are sorted, we will have access to more Emerald titles than ever before as our subscription has been updated. 257 titles, and counting!
“AHFS Drug Information® is a collection of drug monographs on virtually every single-drug entity available in the United States.”
“AHFS Drug Information® monographs are written principally on single-drug entities; information on various trademarked preparations and brands of a drug is contained in a single monograph. Drug combinations are described in the monographs on the principal ingredients or, rarely, appear as separate monographs (e.g., Co-trimoxazole 8:12.20) when the combinations are considered important because of therapeutic rationale and/or frequency of use. … Information on older and prototype drugs is another feature of AHFS Drug Information®.” —AHFS Drug Information® Users Guide
Still reading books made from dead trees (are live electrons really more eco-friendly, hmm)? With the end of our subscription to Global Books in Print, here are a couple other options to try when hunting for a book:
Amazon.ca –yes, that Amazon.
BookFinder! –search over 150 million books for sale, it says.
Keep reading!
UPDATE May 10th: Access restored! Please report any continuing problems through our ER help form.
Currently, we are having problems accessing the full-text articles in ACS’ Journal of Chemical Education. The publisher is recognizing the UBC-O (Okanagan) IP addresses but not UBC-V (Vancouver). As a result, access is blocked on the Vancouver campus and possibly via myVPN.
For the time being, please check the UBC Catalogue for which print copies we have. For instructions on how to request items from the ASRS, click here. For instructions on how to request items from other Library branches, click here. If neither option will get you the article you want, try InterLibrary Loans.
Sorry for the inconvenience. We will try to resolve this problem soon.
Today, UNESCO works to protect the Amazon Rainforest. In 1948, UNESCO was poised to help America:
“…civilize the wild, rich Amazon and open it to colonization” —The Future of the Amazon, Scientific American, v.178, iss.5, p.11 (1948)
What other changes to our world view have occurred over the last 60 or so years? Take a look in the Scientific American archives.
Life Sciences folk, thank you for your patience.
Access to the full text articles in Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, both the American & British editions, has been restored.
For British Edition, click here.
For American Edition, click here.
Due to recent changes Elsevier made to its ScienceDirect platform, our UBC eLink button 
is not working as it should (you get a “Server not found” error). Elsevier is working to resolve this problem.
If you find a reference, citation or non-full text article in ScienceDirect you want to follow up on, try plugging the information into our CitationLinker (the Advanced Search tab has more input features).

The next time you use your laptop on campus, you may notice a new wireless option: ubcvisitor (read more here).
As the name suggests, this is a wireless gateway to the internet for visitors — non-UBC folks.
If you are part of the UBC community and are trying to connect to eresources to which the UBC Library subscribes, PLEASE do not use ubcvisitor. Why? Because the IP addresses for this new network will not allow you to connect to subscribed eresources.
The recommended wireless network for UBC community members is ubcsecure.
If you have a valid UBCcard or a CWL and you are connected via ubcsecure and you still have problems accessing Library eresources, please let us know using our help form.
