No Safari eBook access via PCI, 4/3-11 - tcassidy - 04-04-2019
As of Wednesday, 4/3, there is a system-wide problem with Safari eBook access via Primo search results. Essentially, the PCI links now direct VCCS users to the not-yet-implemented O'Reilly for Higher Ed platform instead of our Safari site, prompting for an email address for access. VCCS SO, VIVA Central, ProQuest, and ExLibris support are aware and investigating. Direct access via http://library.vccs.edu/license-bin/linker.plx?safari is not affected.

The problem was resolved on 4/11 and impacted all VIVA Alma institutions. ProQuest partially migrated current Safari customers to the new O'Reilly platform, which VIVA will not implement until this summer. To restore access, Emily implemented a local solution: create static URLs for the portfolios in the collection.
