Access issues with Elsevier/ScienceDirect library e-resources

We are currently experiencing access issues affecting ScienceDirect, Scopus and Scival databases. You may still access them using https://libguides.unisa.ac.za/az/databases?a=s, then scroll down to the relevant database.

The issue is receiving attention from Unisa ICT and the library systems support companies.

 If you encounter a broken link from  ScienceDirect, Scopus or Scival, please send an e-mail to lib-help@unisa.ac.za with the link and title, author and publication date of the article or e-book.

This will help us investigate and resolve the issue more efficiently.
