In December 2024, the University Library will be updating USearch and the system that links to electronic resources (eJournals and articles). The impact of this update will be that links that include "sfx.usask.ca" and "primo-pmtna02.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com" in the URL will stop working in January 2025.
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.
After Dec 4th, USearch will automatically generate 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 use the permanent link from the University Library Catalogue. These links that include "sundog.usask.ca" will not change during this update.
