Electronic Resources Blog

The Informaworld web site will be down on Tuesday 26th October from 8am-10am BST/7am-9am GMT due to essential maintenance work.

We are currently having problems with access to Rock’s backpages via the Electronic Resources A-Z list.

Please try accessing the resource direct via: http://www.rocksbackpages.com/ and logging in via Athens once there.

Eariler on today we identified an issue with the Mac Safari web browser that was blocking access to full-text and displaying a message about cookies…

“Licensing agreements for these databases require that access be extended only to authorized users. Once you have been validated by this system, a “cookie” is sent to your browser as an ongoing indication of your authorization to access these databases. This cookie only needs to be set once during login.

This appears to be a case of Safari blocking 3rd party cookies that we didn’t come across during testing.

A fix has now been put in place and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

If you are still getting the cookie error message with Safari, please try emptying the browser’s cache.

It looks like the Wiley Online Library web server is experiencing problems at the moment…

“Wiley Online Library is currently unavailable while we conduct essential maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience and we are working to bring the site back online as soon as possible.”

…hopefully it won’t be down for too long.

There will be an interruption in the online service for Wiley Online Library due to essential site maintenance,  on 2nd October 2010 (Saturday) from 10am for approximately 2 hours.
