Hi Steve,

That's a great question.

After February 1, we are hoping to have some kind of redirect solution. For example, if you click a link to Physical Geology on open.bccampus.ca on February 2, it should take you to Physical Geology on collection.bccampus.ca. We are still figuring exactly how this will look, though.

For now, if you access any materials using open.bccampus.ca, I would recommend going to collection.bccampus.ca, searching for the materials there, and bookmarking them. That way, you won't be caught off guard and be left scrambling to find your materials when the change happens in February.

Best,

Thanks Arianna.  How will I find out what the link to my Physical Geology text will be after February 1?
