Problems with E-Resources

  • If someone ever reports that e-access to an online journal isn't working, you can directly email our colleagues in Acquisitions! Send an email to eordersmail@jhu.edu.  Look up the journal in the library catalog and make sure we actually do have a record for the journal in question and that the problem the patron reports is actually happening.  The most common problem we see is a pay wall for articles JHU folks should have access to for free.  If the problem is legit, then email Eorders, tell them the nature of the problem, include any necessary links, and mention that you are reporting the issue from the Information Desk.

If anyone reports a health emergency with a patron, please contact the M-level guard immediately.  The guards are trained to handle emergency situations and know who to call to expedite help. If you can't walk to the guards station, you can call them at 410-516-4814.

You may also follow up with Support Services during their department hours or John Schweitzer during his shift in case any further help is needed.
