Additional Bloomsbury resources: access period extended
TEMPORARY ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS for a range of different electronic resources provided through the Bloomsbury platform have been extended to 31 July 2020.
Details in the Find Databases listings for each of these resources have been updated to reflect this. The resources are:
- Bloomsbury Architecture Library
- Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies
- Bloomsbury Medieval Studies
- Drama Online
- Human Kinetics Library
- Screen Studies
All these resources remain discoverable through the list of additional electronic resources being provided during the current closure of the site libraries.
Withdrawn resource: JoVE Science Education
THE PERIOD OF temporary access to JoVE’s Science Education, Core, and Lab Manual content provided by the publisher has concluded.
As a result, the listing for JoVE Science Education has been withdrawn from the list of additional electronic resources being provided during the current closure of the site libraries.
Resolved: secure proxy access problems
THE ISSUES PREVENTING access to resources relying on ‘secure proxy’ authentication, reported earlier this morning, have now been resolved.
All access requests are now resolving correctly, with authentication by university username and password.
Secure proxy access problems
THE LIBRARY IS working with colleagues in Digital Technologies to resolve a problem that is preventing access requests to electronic resources that use the ‘secure proxy service’ from resolving correctly.
The issue is affecting database, eBook and ejournal access requests which rely on this method of authentication.
For those resources impacted by the issue, requests resolve to a generic login screen displaying the OCLC logo (see below).
A further update will follow once normal access has been restored.
