In the coming weeks, current MyiLibrary content will transition to ProQuest’s Ebook Central, a new, full service ebook platform that delivers an intuitive and easy-to-use research experience. Our patrons will still have access to ebook content previously supplied through MyiLibrary, just under a new and improved Ebook Central homepage. Please note: patron bookshelves will not transfer to Ebook Central from the previous MyiLibrary platform. Once transition is complete in early 2018, patrons will need to create a new login and bookshelf for their former MyiLibrary content.

Oxford University Press (OUP) is in the process of updating a number of their database sites. American National Biography Online and Oxford Dictionary of National Biography were updated in late November 2017.  Oxford Music Online and Oxford Art Online will update by December 7th.  Domain URLs will remain the same for all databases; however, article and page location within the domain sites may have changed. OUP has implemented re-directs within the sites in response to those changes. With these updates, OUP hopes to enhance discoverability and improve search capabilities, have more frequent content updates, and allow for social media integration, so users can share content across channels.
