June 26, 5:00pm – 9:00pm
The following services may be down on Friday, June 26th, from 5:00pm – 9:00 pm PST:
As well, the “Alternatives” feature of the Library Access Browser Extension (Lean Library) may also be down.
Summon itself should not be affected, though any linking through the Citation Linker will be during that time.
UPDATE – move went well with few problems reported!
Due to a migration to new servers by our third-party eResources Discovery provider, the eJournal Portal (our ejournal linking from the “Journal Titles” tab on the Library Homepage) and our Citation Linker (also known as UBC eLink – the page with a big blue button that links citations to full text) will be offline for 24 hours starting at 5:00 p.m. PST on Friday, February 8th.
Summon and the Catalogue will be partially affected. Only links that go directly to articles, journals, books, videos, etc. will work during this time.
Users can also use direct article links on Google Scholar during this time, but not UBC eLink.
Much more technical info HERE.
For additional assistance, please contact your nearest library branch, or report any problems via the Help Form.
