UPDATE: February 10, 2025: The issue has been resolved, and new links to journals will go back to how they usually appear in the Library catalog as we work through the backlog of adding the link to the records. Please contact us if you need any assistance.
January 30, 2025: Due to a problem in the system that runs the Library Catalog, new links to journals will appear a bit different until the underlying issue is resolved.
Any new links added to journal records will now look similar to those you find in the ebook records:
In some instances, you will see the old links to journals grouped in one area, but the current access will be in the topmost link:
The links will work like all others in the Library Catalog, and you may be prompted to log in if you’ve not yet authenticated on or off campus.
If you have any questions about this or any other Library resources, contact us.
