Due to upcoming enhancements, Ulrichsweb will be unavailable on Friday, May 18 from 8:00PM until Saturday, May 19, 2012 at 6:00AM EDT.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Problems have been reported with saving PDFs on ScienceDirect when using either Firefox or Internet Explorer 8 and Adobe X and with other versions. They recommend the following workarounds:

In the Science Direct website you can save the file directly to your desktop. This can be done from the abstract screen of the article you wish to download. You will need to go to the ‘PDF’ tab and ‘right click’ on the tab generally on the PDF icon within that tab. Once you right click you will have opened a drop down menu that will have the option to ‘save link as’ or ‘save target as’ depending on what browser you are using. This will then prompt you to save the article to a common file on your hard drive. After you click save from the window that opens you can then go back the file and open the PDF you have saved.

Due to necessary server upgrades, Ebook Library (EBL) has scheduled a 2 hour downtime period on Sunday, May 6, 2012 between 8:00PM and 10:00PM (EDT).
