EBSCOhost planned maintenance 12pm 26th October

Please be aware that parts of the EBSCOhost service, which provides some of our e-books and e-journals at York St. John University, will experience some disruptions during planned maintenance occurring around 12pm on the 26 October 2012 for about an hour.  Parts of the service will still be available but those areas likely to experience severe disruption are:  

• Personal User Authentication
• Checkout and Download of eBooks
• Alerts
• Access to My EBSCOhost folder items or the ability to save items to personalized folders from session

If you experience problems with electronic resources around 12pm on the 26 October 2012, please check first that it is not an EBSCOhost resource before reporting the issue.  

Reminder: Summer Hours

Just a reminder to all YSJ library users out there that we are currently on our vacation hours until September.    Please make sure you check opening hours before coming in.  For those who need to return items, locked book boxes are available near the library entrance.  

Normal (28-day) loan items are now being issued or renewed until September. However, loan periods for 7-day items are not changing, so you will need to renew them online or by phone if you're going to be away. Be aware, though, that you may not be able to renew an item if another user has placed a hold on it. Please do get in touch with us by phone - 01904 976700 - or email - library@yorksj.ac.uk - if you have any trouble renewing an item, or any queries.
