Problems affecting access to online resources
THE LIBRARY IS currently experiencing authentication issues which is preventing access to multiple online resources, including books and journals in Library OneSearch, and resources listed in the Find Databases service.
Colleagues in Digital Technologies are urgently investigating.
New resource: Encyclopedia of the Medieval Chronicle
THE LIBRARY HAS access to a brand new resource via Library OneSearch: The encyclopedia of the medieval chronicle.
This resource is described as:
bringing together the latest research in chronicle studies from a variety of disciplines and scholarly traditions. Chronicles are the history books written and read in educated circles throughout Europe and the Middle East in the Middle Ages. For the modern reader, they are important as sources for the history they tell, but equally they open windows on the preoccupations and self-perceptions of those who tell it.
