What really drives me insane is journals that keep their paywall up indefinitely (unlike e.g. the various AGU journals). Sometimes I'm not on York's network and I go to read a paper that was published before I was born, and I get asked to sign in to read it.

My own highlights include "We can't renew this because it doesn't expire until next week" and "You're a grad student, why do you even want a YUcard?"

Now that I'm allowed to look at the form, it /seems/ reasonably straightforward, but I am fully prepared for it to devolve into some kind of logistical nightmare.

Okay so the deeply baffling update on this is that it only works on mobile browsers and nothing else? Could not possibly imagine why that is.

I suspect that this is not actually true.
