Search Electronic Databases webpage - Partial Outage

Good Morning WesternU Community,

We are experiencing a temporary outage with the Live Search feature of the Search Electronic Databases beta page.

The "Search for Databases by Name" is not functioning, but the "Search our Resources by Type" drop-down list is working as it should.

We thank you for your patience during this outage and encourage you to please use the manual list of Electronic Resources.

UPDATE: The "Search Electronic Databases" database is now operating again. Thank for your patience.

Pumerantz Library E-book Collection

Pumerantz Library provides access to e-books from a number of providers—MD Consult, Access Medicine, Ovid, R2 Digital Collection, and STAT!Ref, to name a few. The library strives to offer the best mix of titles based on availability and affordability, but this can mean that only a limited number of users may be able to access an e-book at the same time. Depending on the title, access is provided to an unlimited number of people, only one person at a time, or somewhere in between. We monitor the usage of our e-books, as well as how often users get “turned away.” We also respond to access problems reported by our users. When possible, we may purchase additional “copies” of a title to allow more users to have simultaneous access.

To access our e-books, use the E-Resources page of our web site, or search our online catalog, using the Electronic Book search feature.
