I’ve been able to fix the problem that was preventing off campus access to SAGE Journals and to SAGE Research Methods Online. All links to these resources on the LibGuides are once again proxied so that off campus users are asked to login first.

Remote Access Is Working Again (Except for SAGE Content)
The EZproxy server has been restarted and remote access to databases, journals, e-reserves, etc. should be working again (although I am still working on figuring out why we can’t access journals from SAGE and SAGE Research Methods Online from off campus).
Problems with Off Campus Access to SAGE Journals and SAGE Research Methods Online [UPDATED]
[SEE UPDATE BELOW}
Our EZproxy system that handles authentication for off campus access isn’t working right for SAGE Journals and for SAGE Research Methods Online. While I await on support from SAGE, I’ve temporarily turned off the feature in LibGuides that runs the links to SAGE resources through the proxy server. This means that if you click the links on campus, they’ll work as expected, but if you click them from off campus, you’ll get a page from SAGE asking you to login (instead of getting our usual Baruch remote access login page).
As soon as I can get off campus access working again with EZproxy, I’ll send an update out on this blog and change the links in LibGuides back to their normal settings. I suspect that the problem will be resolved today or tomorrow at the latest.
UPDATE (30 June 2015, 1:22 pm) Off campus access is once again working for all SAGE resources.
SAGE Research Methods Online: records now in catalog
Over 700 records for SAGE Research Methods Online have been loaded into the catalog. It is hoped this will help our students find the texts they need when doing their research.To get a complete list and see what’s there you can do a keyword search for “SAGE Research Methods Online”.
Ebooks Overview in the Reference Wiki
Today, I’ve been substantially updating the entry on Ebooks in the reference wiki to give public services staff a quick overview of the various platforms we have.
As I was working on this, I made a mental note to return later to Sage Research Methods Online, which I can see is going to be the place I go to from now on to get any answers about methodologies I should use for my own research. Not only are there hundreds of books here, there are also 26 videos that give me another way to take in the information.
New resource: Sage Research Methods Online
We have added Sage Research Methods Online to our database collection and it is available via the database page.
Sage Research Methods Online (SRMO) links over 100,000 pages of SAGE’s book, journal and reference content on research methods, including the entire “Little Green Book” and “Little Blue Book” series. Use this database to help design research projects, conduct research, and write up findings. SRMO is focused on methodology, not disciplines, so it can be used across the social sciences, health sciences, and more.
Please let your faculty and students know about this new resource.
