E-Resource linking issue

UPDATE: The error has been fixed 1:33pm 12/4/2015

We are experiencing an issue with links to our E-Resources. The links are appending the characters "&_ga=1.69596441.805913980.1448897839" to the end of our links. Because this is not the actual URL you will see a proxy error or a page cannot be displayed error. Remove the extra characters from your address bar and try to load the page again.

We are working with the WesternU IT department to resolve the issue ASAP.

We will update this page with more information as it becomes available.
