Hi there, Alma universities are back to Google Scholar. Cheers, Wei From: Wei Xuan Sent: Friday, July 08, 2016 2:24 PM To: lib-virtual-ref(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Subject: Google Scholar problem Hi there, We are experiencing a problem with Google Scholar. Our Alma links don't show up. Ex Libris is working on fixing this. Sometime next week (their guess is Tuesday afternoon, based on past experience), it will be possible again to go to Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com), in Settings define the library, search for articles, and get directly full-text resources. Our proxied google scholar is still good for the full-text access. https://scholar-google-com.uml.idm.oclc.org/ Have a good weekend.

Re: [Lib-virtual-ref] MyNCBI (PubMed): login issues
by Wei Xuan 24 Jun '16

Hi there, I know it has been a while. But the logging issue with MyNCBI through EZproxy has been resolved. Please feel free to contact us if there are any other problems. Have a good weekend. Wei XUAN | Head, Libraries Systems | University of Manitoba Libraries | 204-474-6710 From: Sherri Vokey Sent: Friday, April 15, 2016 12:48 PM To: Wade Mcmunn <Wade.Mcmunn(a)umanitoba.ca>; Wei Xuan <Wei.Xuan(a)umanitoba.ca> Cc: Lori Giles-Smith <Lori.Giles-smith(a)umanitoba.ca>; Carol Cooke <Carol.Cooke(a)umanitoba.ca> Subject: MyNCBI (PubMed): login issues Hi Wade and Wei, A number of us have noted that we’re having difficult accessing MyNCBI, which is a component of PubMed: https://www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.uml.idm.oclc.org/account/?back_url=http%3A%2F%… Lori and Carol (copied) have provided some feedback to this effect (I’ve attached the email). The problems persist (I’ve just re-tested as of 10 minutes ago). Specifically, the “Sign in to NCBI” box located on the left-hand side does not appear to accept credentials when entered, and puts the user into a loop of cascading windows within that window. I believe that the problem may be linked to our proxy. As Carol notes, when accessing MyNCBI from the un-proxied version of PubMed, everything works as it should (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/). We have tested this on a WRHA computer, our “off-campus” computer, and on several UofM computers with different OS’s and browsers, all with the same result. We rely on MyNCBI fairly heavily, so I suspect that we may start hearing from our users fairly soon about this issue. Can you help?
