The Health Sciences Libraries transitioned to a new homepage (http://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/health/) on Monday, July 11. We've since discovered that many HSC users are now unable to access the new site. They are prompted from the redirect/old page (http://www.umanitoba.ca/libraries/health/) to enter a username and password (see attached screenshot).

In short, we believe that this is due to restrictions placed on HSC computers by Manitoba eHealth (their IT provider/service). Most (but not all) users' workstations are locked down in such a way that they are prevented from visiting external sites, and it looks like our new site is being treated that way. I'm still waiting to hear back from eHealth about a possible resolution, but should you receive VR calls about this, the best course of action is to direct them to eHealth: 940-8500 for IT support and access issues, or to us (789-3464) for immediate assistance with library materials/services.
