Some problems with access to Taylor & Francis journals have been reported this morning. We have contacted Taylor & Francis about this. Please continue to report Taylor & Francis journal access problems to LAC so we can follow-up on any other titles affected.

E-access problem: Informit databases
The Informit databases are only giving us citation access at present and there is a “buy now” message for pdfs. We are following up on this to have full-text access restored.
Informit’s reply: “we are experiencing a technical issue with the site this morning. Our team is working hard to resolve this issue, and we hope to restore full access as soon as possible.”
