Updates on electronic resources from the library of Nottingham Trent University
Access to the BCIS (Building Cost Information Service) database has been updated with a new login method. NTU staff and students must now complete a registration process that includes creating an individual account.
For more information, please see the registration guide attached to the BCIS record in Find Databases.
THE CONNECTION TIME-OUT browser error affecting access to electronic resources using NTU WiFi has now been resolved.
THE LIBRARY NOW provides access to over 60 titles about inclusive teaching and learning on Library OneSearch.
The collection is described as follows:
The Jessica Kingsley Inclusive Teaching and Learning collection helps educators, administrators, and other school leaders bring inclusivity, social justice, and trauma-informed practices into the classroom and school, as well as the individual learning process. Written by experts in their fields, these titles provide pedagogical and practical support addressing topics such as emotionally-based school avoidance, self-confidence and communication skill-building, relationship and sex education, and whole-school approaches to inclusivity and mental health.
Selected new titles include:
Access to this resource is direct on-campus and by university username and password from off-campus.
THE LIBRARY IS currently experiencing issues accessing electronic resource platforms from devices that are connected to NTU WiFi.
Following links from Library OneSearch and from records listed by the Find Databases service leads to a connection time-out browser error.
Follow these steps to gain access to resources while Digital Technologies colleagues work to fix the problem:
Wait for the connection time-out error page to load.
Edit the URL to remove the https://ntu.idm.oclc.org/login?url= prefix.
Press the Return key on your keyboard or mobile device to reload the page and connect to the resource.
Access to resources from wired NTU connections and from off campus is unaffected.
Taylor & Francis eBooks has recently migrated to a new eReader, which now supports ePubs and offers improved accessibility and personalisation settings.
Please note that if you have used personalisation features such as Bookshelf, Bookmarks and Notes on the old eReader, you will need to set them up again in the new eReader by February 16, 2025, as existing records or instances will not be transferred. After this date, the old eReader will be fully retired and become unavailable.
For more information, please visit the dedicated FAQ page on the Taylor & Francis website.
