Delay in eTOCs / New Issue Alerts as We Transition to G-Suite

Apologies for the disruption in our eTOCs / New Issue Alerting Service showcasing our extensive Ascension Wisconsin eJournal collection.

The switch to G-Suite has thrown us a curve ball in that I am waiting for AIT's cooperation and assistance in creating over 300 new distribution lists (or Google Groups) to transition my old Outlook contact groups for each eJournal.  Until then, 

Our ejournals provide valuable current and trusted information to help keep our Physicians, Providers, Nurses, and Caregivers up-to-date and current on developments in their specialty areas of interest.   This all goes toward providing better care for our patients and lifelong learning for our associates.

Hold tight!  The service should be back on line soon. 

In the meantime, if you want to see what's available and sign up for something new, 
visit New Issue Alerts / eTOCs.
