Updates on electronic resources from the library of Nottingham Trent University
THE LIBRARY IS working with colleagues in Information Systems and external providers to reinstate access to the Box of Broadcasts service, access to which is currently unavailable on-campus and off-campus.
Attempts to log in to the service using a university username and password resolve to an error page.
A further update will follow once access to Box of Broadcasts is confirmed as working normally once more.
THE LIBRARY IS working with colleagues in Information Systems and external providers to reinstate access to the Lexis Library and the Nexis UK platforms, access to which are currently unavailable on-campus and off-campus.
Attempts to log in to either service using a university username and password resolve to an error page.
A further update will follow once access to both Nexis UK and Lexis Library is confirmed as working normally once more.
THE LIBRARY IS working with the technical team at Westlaw to resolve a problem that is currently preventing login to the Westlaw platform.
Access requests from both on-campus and off-campus are currently resolving to an error page. A further update will follow once the issue is confirmed as resolved.
THE SCHEDULED OUTAGE of the Shibboleth service completed this morning within the first hour of the two-hour ‘at risk’ period.
Shibboleth-based authentication (which provided authenticated access to subscription-based online resources using a university username and password) has been confirmed to be running normally once again.
TO ENABLE SOME essential maintenance, the Shibboleth service (which enables single sign-on for staff and students, using a university username and password) will be ‘at risk’ for this morning, between 07:00 and 09:00.
It is anticipated that the service may be unavailable for a fifteen-minute period at some point during that two-hour window.
A further update will follow once testing has confirmed that the Shibboleth service is fully operational once again.
TITLES IN THE Bloomsbury Fashion Central collection are now discoverable through Library OneSearch, and the platform itself is accessible through the Find Databases service.
Access to all subscribed content on the platform is direct on-campus and by university username and password off-campus.
