Yes, we are experiencing problems also. Fault reported to Elsevier on Monday. We've found that the authentication problem is when using our WAYFless url and also the login link on the ScienceDirect homepage. However, if you navigate away from the SD home page and, say go to the Browse tab and then login we get access to content....... At this stage haven't checked if we have access to all licensed content....and site is no longer displaying institution name in top right hand corner.......hoping Elsevier get this sorted soon.......

Subject: [lis-e-resources] ScienceDirect access problems?
Is anybody having problems with accessing Science Direct using
Shibboleth at the moment?
We are trying to ascertain if it is a problem at our end or with
Science Direct, but all of our other Shibboleth-authenticated resources
are working fine which obviously suggests a particular issue with SD.
Thanks for any feedback or suggestions.
