The library is in the process of fixing the problem. A temporary work around is:

Go to the Access SkillPort eLearning site at: http://www.uh.edu/infotech/php/template.php?training_id=23

Click the log in button and follow the log in instructions.

On the left side, you will see a grey box with the very first text line that says Books 24×7. Click that. It may take a few minutes to load. A new window will pop open for the Books 24×7 content. In the search box at the top, paste in your title and it will bring you to your book.

We apologize for this inconvenience and we will have the links working correctly as quickly as possible.

  • SciVerse Hub, including SciVal and Journal Consult

Some of the new features which will be available after the service upgrade will be:

  • ScienceDirect: Increasing search speed and article rendering; solving issues with PDF downloading and RSS feeds
  • Scopus: Increasing interoperability with Hub allows for continued discovery across web and patent sources
  • Hub: Adding sortable refine results filters to make searches even more relevant

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but hope these service enhancements will help create a more seamless interaction with Elsevier’s products.
