On December 9, 2024, the University Library updated USearch and the system that links to electronic resources (eJournals and articles). The impact of this update is that links that included "sfx.usask.ca" or "primo-pmtna02.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com" in the URL stopped working on January 13, 2025 when we fully decommissioned the old systems.
Our library collections and subscriptions to eResources have not changed, but the way you connect to full-text versions is changing.
You can easily replace SFX links with permanent links to the same resources using the Direct Persistent Links tool to create a link from a DOI (preferred) or a URL.
USearch now automatically generates new permalinks using the correct URL format. You may have to search for library items you have saved or bookmarked to update your links.
If you have links to books, eBooks or print journals, you can also use the permanent link from the University Library Catalogue. These links that include "sundog.usask.ca" will not change during this update.
