ScienceDirect to end support of InternetExplorer 8 (13 . 10 . 2015)

Effective January 1, 2016, ScienceDirect will no longer support Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

Why are ScienceDirect ceasing support of IE8?

Following Microsoft's directive to focus support on newer, officially-supported IE browser versions. Microsoft announced in 2014 that, as of January 2016, it would only support the most recent IE browser version with technical support and security updates. Elsevier strongly encourages customers to follow Microsoft's directive as well by updating to more recent versions of IE. Additionally, users can move to the latest versions of the Chrome or Firefox browsers for an optimal ScienceDirect experience.

If you have any questions or concerns, please visit the ScienceDirect Blog for more details

Note: Compatibility mode in IE9 or higher reverts the browser back to IE7 or IE8 behavior. If you experience issues accessing ScienceDirect using IE9 or higher, please disable the compatibility view mode in your IE browser.

An initiative of the IUA Librarians

The availability of the online IReL system which allows researchers to access a wide variety of scientific journals online has been a tremendous help and time saver for researchers at all levels.
