Updates on electronic resources from the library of Nottingham Trent University
Browns Books is advising that maintenance and upgrades of its VLeBooks platform will be taking place on the weekend of 2nd & 3rd March 2024, affecting the availability of the VLe Reader during these two days.
The previously reported issue have been resolved, and the Kortext reader is now working properly.
The previously reported issue has now been resolved and our CIPD Kogan Page books are once again accessible online via Library OneSearch and resource lists.
We are currently experiencing some issues with loading titles on the Kortext web browser. You may see the following error message when trying to read a book on screen:
Thank you for your patience while the supplier is working on a fix.
The Kortext app should load books as normal and can be used in the meantime. The app is downloadable from the Account dropdown menu on the top right corner. When prompted to log in, use your NTU email address and you will be redirected to the institutional sign-on page.
We are currently experiencing a loss of access for several of our CIPD Kogan Page books, with links returning the following error message: ‘Connection refused by ebs-patron.eb20.com, please try again later’.
Thank you for your patience while we working with the supplier to resolve this technical issue.
THE LIBRARY HAS subscribed to The Purple Guide, an online resource “designed to provide guidance for event organisers, suppliers, local authorities and others involved in the outdoor events industry.”
Primarily written for the UK, the guide covers Health, Safety and Welfare legal framework and good practices across the events industry to help professionals safely planning and organising outdoor concerts, festivals, and other similar events.
The Purple Guide can be accessed on and off-campus via ‘Find Databases’ on Library OneSearch.
We are currently experiencing some authentication issues with Rock’s Backpages, and are working with them to restore access as soon as possible.
Note that the database can still be searched for references, but full content is temporarily unavailable.
Following last year’s cyber-attack that has paralysed its operations and online services, the British Library has now partially resumed its activities, providing users with a ‘read-only’ version of its online public catalogue and some physical access to the majority of its key special collections.
Read the full update on the British Library blog.
