Microsoft pushing you to upgrading to Internet Explorer 9? Resist!

Several of our Library e-Resources are not working with IE 9 (Web of Science, for example). This is commonly a problem with the latest version of browsers; the publishers/vendors/platforms just don’t upgrade themselves right away.

We do not have a list of resources that will/won’t work with IE9. So, if possible, just hold off for a while. All platforms comply with Microsoft’s changes eventually.

The Engineering Village site is down.

As this is a long weekend in the U.S., it may take a while to come back. Contact Science & Engineering for alternate resources.

Stay tuned for updates.
