Difficulties accessing SwetsWise online journals off-campus

We are aware that there is an issue with off-campus access to some online journals via the SwetsWise service. We are working on resolving this, but for now you should be able to use the following work-around:

When clicking on the link in the online catalogue, you might be taken to a page with a web address looking like this:

http://www.swetswise.com/eAccess/viewTitleIssues.do?titleID=71902

This URL will be accessible from on-campus, but will need to be modified for off-campus, so it looks like:

http://www.swetswise.com.ezproxy.yorksj.ac.uk/eAccess/viewTitleIssues.do?titleID=71902

You will be taken to a log-in screen, and should then be connected to the SwetsWise site via our EZProxy server (which will make it look like you are on site). However, you may be directed to a login page. If so, simply click "IP Authentication" in the top-right, and you should be taken to your journal:

Please contact libraryqueries@yorksj.ac.uk if you continue to have problems.

Access to Internet Archaeology Online Journal

We have arranged full-text access to the Internet Archaeology eJournal for York St. John staff and students.

***

Short link: http://library.yorksj.ac.uk/db/IntArch.

Internet Archaeology is the first fully refereed e-journal for archaeology and publishes articles of a high academic standing which utilise the potential of electronic publication. Internet Archaeology is hosted by the Department of Archaeology at the University of York and published by the Council for British Archaeology. Internet Archaeology has been publishing on the web since 1996 and aims to provide new ways of presenting and engaging with archaeological research. Articles make use of the potential of the medium to present archaeological research, including video, audio, searchable data sets, full-colour images, visualisations, animations and interactive mapping.

Please note that, when you perform a search, a link to "Buy this article" will be displayed by many of the articles. Free full-text access will still be available, so long as you are onsite or access the journal via our EZProxy URL (http://intarch.ac.uk.ezproxy.yorksj.ac.uk/...) - just click on the article title.

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.
