July 10th, 2018 by madgett | Comments Off on EBSCOhost Databases : Now able do a search for a Journal in the UBC Catalogue
New search linking from EBSCOhost to the UBC Catalogue for Journals
When searching in EBSCOhost Databases, you will now see a new link next to Journal / Article results that has a “rainbow” book case:

This link will search for the journal ISSN in the UBC Catalogue so that you can see what Print holdings (as well as Online) the Library has. This will be particularly helpful for articles with poor or no images (when we have the Print) or for locating Archives of a journal (Print or Online) that go back farther than the EBSCOhost full text holdings.

September 29th, 2011 by Lorne Madgett | Comments Off on Catalogue work this Weekend: Some eJournal Records Will Be Deleted
Just a heads up for folks working this weekend.
There will be work on the UBC Catalogue this weekend. Many ejournal records will be removed & later replaced. This may cause problems with people using the “Search for Print and Online Journals” left-hand search box, but will not affect the “Search for Online Journals Only” right-hand search box.
The Citation Linker will not be affected (for ejournals). Clear?
