The Read Online Link Doesn't Work

We have discovered a problem when accessing some of our ebook and streaming video content.

When you click "read online" or "watch oline" the content doesn't open correctly. 

In case you find an electronic resource with a broken link, follow these steps:

Open the record by clicking on the title. Then you will see all the details about the item. Near the bottom of the entry you will see the url:

Library catalogue record with U R L highlighted.

Intially just try the link and see if it works correctly.

If it doesn not, ignore the beginning of the url (https://go.openathens.net/redirector/ufv.ca?url=) and copy everything after "url="

Go to our OpenAthens Link Generator and create a new link.

Paste in the url and copy the new one.

OpenAthens link generator with old link on left and new link on right.

The new link will take you correctly to the ebook or streaming content.

I don't want to create/link a personal account

 

You don't have to.

More and more of our databases are trying to collect user information and JSTOR is one of them.

Try to "X" out or close the create an account box.

JSTOR create an account screen with X highlighted.

 

You should be able to proceed to the content without creating an account.

The main exception being EBSCO with their personal data collection form. We find with that particular form it is easier to say yes to collecting personalized data. Look for the option to delete your data, via the "update my account" option after you have completed your searches.
