Electronic Resources Update

Ebrary Bookshelf Problem

Update

1) The Bookshelf is now working on all pubic pcs in the library. If you notice a problem, please contact Kaila or Fatma in Automated Systems.

2) It is NOT working remotely (off-campus). This is a separate issue that is being solved by Automated Systems and Ebrary.

Encyclopaedia of Islam Online --Off-Campus Access Restored

Please let me know if any patrons encounter problems accessing it from home.

Proxy Server Problem

All databases with proxy server are not working. You need to take the proxy server setting out of the URL to use the database from on-campus.

For example:
http://0-www.acm.org.lib.aucegypt.edu/dl/

Take out the red, bold parts so that it is now:
http://www.acm.org/dl/

Encyclopaedia of Islam Online --Problem with Proxy Server

Currently we are experiencing problems accessing Encyclopaedia of Islam Online from off-campus. Automated Systems and I are working with the publisher to correct this problem as soon as possible.

In the meantime I added "Temporarily On-Campus Only" next to the title and there is a message in the details "i" box.

CQ Databases

All the CQ Databases are available again!

CQ Databases Down!

All CQ databases are unavailable. Lesley and I have contacted them to restore access ASAP.

Database URLs (w/ proxy)

What to do if Electronic Resources page goes down!

If the entire Electronic Resources page becomes unavailable, contact me or ACS*:

Aya Saad, 5538 or
Maha Elkoshairi, 5359

*The Electronic Resources page is actually on the ACS server, not the library's server.

Safari Available!

Safari is once again available. I am currently working on an intermediate page that will warn patrons about downloading online books. I will let you know when that is working.
