New platform for Emerald Insight and ICE Virtual Library

Emerald and Silverchair have partnered to launch an updated and improved version of Emerald Insight, which will now include the ICE Virtual Library. Starting from July 21, 2025, Emerald will be migrating content from both Emerald Insight and the ICE Virtual Library to this new platform. Links will automatically redirect, ensuring minimal impact on access to resources.

Users with existing Emerald or ICE accounts will have their accounts migrated and consolidated. They will need to reset their passwords the first time they log in after the new platform is launched.

For more information, please visit the dedicated FAQ page.

New Emerald eBook collections activated

Emerald Insight eBooks - 2015 additions to Library OneSearch

A total of 105 new eBooks from the Emerald Business, Management & Economics collection (the current front-list for 2015) and 529 titles from the Emerald Social Sciences collection (the archive for 1999-2014 and the front-list for 2015) have been added to Library OneSearch.

As with other Emerald eBook titles, access (at the individual title level) is by university username and password – which ensures that the library can provide authentication-aware deep-links in Library OneSearch which work from both on-campus and off-campus locations.

New titles in the BM&E collection include:

New titles from the SS collection include:

Withdrawn resource: ICEA (International Civil Engineering Abstracts)

Access to the ICEA (International Civil Engineering Abstracts) service, previously made available through the Emerald platform, has been withdrawn from the Find Databases service of Library OneSearch following its removal from the Emerald platform.

EmeraldInsight – access problems

Technical problems are continuing to affect the EmeraldInsight platform.

Emerald’s technical team report that problems affecting one of the service’s main servers are causing sporadic loss of access to subscription content on the platform. This means that requests from both on-campus and off-campus NTU staff and students to content subscribed to by LLR can be intermittently refused.

Emerald hope to be able to reinstate stable access to full-text subscription content shortly.

Emerald – metasearching re-enabled

Metasearching and remote searching of the Emerald platform (which was suspended in the summer) was re-enabled ahead of the beginning of the autumn term, following the release and deployment of a new search configuration by Ex Libris.

EmeraldInsight platform changes

Remote searching and metasearching of the Emerald service in eSearch has been temporarily disabled pending the release of a new search configuration by Ex Libris. Direct access to content on the EmeraldInsight platform is available as normal.
