*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.
UBC IT has posted to their UBC IT Bulletins blog:

Be prepared for turbulence as you travel the internet.
*UPDATE* This is related to the Internet Problem post*
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.
ARBA Online [American Reference Books Annual Online] is now available for perusing.
“ARBAonline is the most comprehensive, authoritative database for quality reviews of print and electronic reference works.”–ABC CLIO
The Life Sciences Package is a collection of related ejournals. Here is a title list:
To access these titles, go to the “Search Collection / Journals” Library webpage and search the titles in the “Search for Online Journals Only” search box on the right.
Links labeled “ScienceDirect Life Sciences Book Series” are for this new collection.
…okay, really the info is mostly old. But it may be “new” to you. Here’s some free online resources worth a look:
“Methods in Enzymology is a series of scientific publications focused primarily on research methods in biochemistry…The series is widely used and cited in the biomedical research field.” -Wikipedia
We have access back to the 2000 publications.
Due to technical complications, the ebooks in the Irwin Law Collection are a bit tricky to find at the moment. The records in the Catalogue have old links and will be replaced soon.
For now, use this URL and then either browse or search for titles. Titles found in Summon are unfortunately a mix of good and bad links right now.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
The UBC Library has access to the British Medical Journal back to 1840 (when it was the Provincial Medical & Surgical Journal ).
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?
