Call for Contributions to the Spring ALD/ACRL Washington Newsletter: Deadline May 17

The Washington State Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL-WA) officially merged with WLA in September 2020. ACRL-WA is now WLA’s Academic Library Division (ALD) and is now recognized as ALD/ACRL-WA.

The now combined newsletters will be biannual coming out in May and November of each year. It is our hope to fill in the time between with social media posts on our Facebook and Twitter accounts. We accept submissions and ideas for those platforms year around.

Thank you for bringing this up, Amy. We are experiencing the same issue with EBSCO article databases. Links to EBSCO ebooks and Gale databases appear to be working. I will submit a SF case.

Amy,

I saw your post to the listserv, so I tested it out at BTC. We are experiencing the same issue here. I did submit a case this morning as a high priority. The case number is 00949239.

Take care,
Traci

Subject: [Wactclc-alma] Primo errors when linking to Ebsco, Gale

In case you are not following the discussion on Alma-L this morning, there appears to be a nationwide issue with Primo linking to Ebsco content which results in users being sent to an Ebsco login page instead of directly to the subscribed content.  Not good.  There is an additional error with Gale content.

Hopefully this gets sorted out soon…
