Updates on electronic resources from the library of Nottingham Trent University
A scheduled system maintenance period for the Box of Broadcasts (BoB) platform will begin Friday 24th September 2021 at 21:00. The provider advises that the service should be considered ‘at risk’ during this time.
ACCESS TO THE Adam Matthew Explorer platform has been enabled through a new entry in the library’s Find Databases service.
Authenticated access to the resource is by university username and password.
The resource is described as follows:
Adam Matthew Explorer gives access to over 70 primary source collections with content spanning the fifteenth to the twenty-first centuries. These collections from archives across the world cover arts, humanities and social sciences.
Discovery records for individual resources and materials from all seventy collections will be available through Library OneSearch and Library OneSearch Pro shortly.
The issues affecting the off-campus link to Practical Law from the Find Databases page have now been resolved and the off-campus link is working again.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused whilst working to restore access.
We are currently investigating an issue with the off-campus access option from the Find Databases page for Practical Law.
Using the link will land you at the above Practical Law page but without first completing the NTU Single Sign part and granting access as an NTU user.
Whilst we work with ThomsonReuter to try and resolve direct access and to get full access, please use the Sign In option at the top right of the screen and then the ‘Access through academic institution’ option to the bottom of this page.
After searching and selecting Nottingham Trent University from the list of institutions you should then be directed to the NTU Single Sign On page and successful completion of this should then return you back to Practical Law as a signed in NTU user.
A scheduled system maintenance period for the Box of Broadcasts platform will begin Tuesday 7th September 2021 at 14:00. The provider advises that the service should be considered ‘at risk’ during this time.

It provides access to reference works, journal articles, instructional videos and books relevant to disciplines across the social sciences, including business and management, counselling, criminology, education, geography, health and social care, media and communication, politics and international relations, psychology and sociology. Particular attention is afforded to a wide range of qualitative research methods and practices.
