Troubles Accessing MIT Sloan E-Journal

Published by Dipa Barua
I am trying to access an article on MIT Sloan e-Journal. The first article (the discipline of creativity) was fine, the second article (The dandelion principle) asked for subscription, even though I went through SFU proxy.
Could you please look into this? Thank you.

Questions about Factiva

Published by Dipa Barua

Q: Hello treasured SFU librarians.
This new journal database, Factiva, is impossible! I've been dumped onto it when searching a precise article, and it gives me a heap of irrelevant results. And often there is no alternative database available, even when, for example, the "Holdings" page states that the article is available through Lexis/Nexus.
Did the library subscribe to Factiva and cancel other databases? Is it possible to go back to the former system? It is putting a crimp in my research.
Thanks!
