Trial access to the Human Rights Studies Online collection has been enabled in Library OneSearch (through the Find Databases service) to enable and encourage evaluation of the resource by academics and students. Access is direct on-campus, and by university username and password from off-campus. Trial access will be available until 11 January 2015. The resource is described as follows:
Human Rights Studies Online is a research and learning database providing comparative documentation, analysis, and interpretation of major human rights violations and atrocity crimes worldwide from 1900 to 2010. The collection includes primary and secondary materials across multiple media formats and content types for each selected event, including Armenia, the Holocaust, Cambodia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda, Darfur, and more than thirty additional subjects. The collection include around 75,000 pages of text and 150 hours of audio-visual content.
During the trial period off-campus requests to access the resource will resolve to a login page displaying the message ‘We’re sorry, but we don’t recognise you!’ (see illustration below).
Scroll down that page to the ‘Select by institution name’ box, and search for ‘Nottingham Trent University’. When the ‘Login via institution’ box appears below that, click on the ‘Go’ button to resolve the the NTU Single Sign-On page. Enter your university username and password and click on ‘Login’ to be authorised to access the resource.
