UPDATE: Issues with access to some electronic journals

We have now reconfigured EZProxy so that it should redirect from the old informaworld.com address to tandfonline.com, with the ISSN in the correct format. Unfortunately, this is working only for the title-level links to the journals themselves, not for article links. We are working on resolving this with Worldcat.

If a particular journal article is available from another provider as well as Taylor and Francis, please use the alternative link. If you find any that are not working, and no alternative is available, please copy the full URL from your web browser's address bar and send it in an email to: libraryqueries@yorksj.ac.uk with "online journal access" in the subject.

-- Original Message--
We are currently experiencing issues with access to Taylor and Francis online journals, due to a recent change at the publisher's end. We are working on making changes in order to restore access.

If you are on a PC on the University's network, you can get access in the meantime by editing the URL. Replace the EZProxy URL with "www.tandfonline.com", and ensure that the ISSN of the journal is in the correct format (four digits, hypen, four digits). For example, the journal Cultural Trends, with the EZProxy URL of:

http://www.informaworld.com.ezproxy.yorksj.ac.uk/openurl?genre=journal&issn=09548963

... can be accessed at:

http://www.tandfonline.com/openurl?genre=journal&issn=0954-8963

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause, and will restore normal access off-campus as soon as possible.
