Update April 6, 2022
The access issues with SpringerNature earlier this week have been resolved, and (subscribed) content from Nature.com and SpringerLink should be accessible both on-campus and off-campus.

SpringerNature content is currently inaccessible to most Georgetown users, both on-campus and off-campus. Affected content includes:
- Journal articles from Nature.com, including Nature, Nature Medicine, Nature Chemistry, Nature Physics, and other Nature titles
- Ebooks and journals on the SpringerLink platform
- New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, Statesman's Yearbook, Scientific American, and other SpringerNature titles where Georgetown normally has access
What can I do?
- If you are on-campus, accessed SpringerNature content in February or early March, and have not cleared cache/cookies, it is possible your computer may have access to SpringerNature content.
- Check HoyaSearch and the Journal Finder -- many older issues of SpringerNature journals are available from other Library databases. For example, Nature is available from 1990 to early 2021 via EBSCO and ProQuest.
- If you need a specific article or ebook chapter, make an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request.
We apologize for this inconvenience, and are happy to field questions at eresources@georgetown.edu.
