Updates on electronic resources from the library of Nottingham Trent University
LexisLibrary have now partially resolved access to the ‘News’ and ‘International Content’ section of the platform both on and off campus.
However, direct access to title level content from within Library OneSearch is still not available when choosing ‘online access’ and results in an ‘unavailable’ page.
We are continuing to work with the Lexis technical team to try and resolve this issue.
Following the recent outage across the Euromonitor International network we’ve now received confirmation from their technical team that all the issues have been resolved and access is again restored.
Access to Passport is direct on campus and by university username and password (using Shibboleth) off campus.
Euromonitor have apologised for the length of the disruption and any inconvenience this may have caused.
Due to a system outage across the entire Euromonitor International network the Passport system is currently unavailable.
Technical staff at Euromonitor are working to resolve these issues and a further update will follow once access is restored.
Euromonitor apologise for any disruption this may be causing.
As of Wednesday 24 April any new users creating educational WGSN accounts will have to register using their NTU email address ending in either @ntu.ac.uk or @my.ntu.ac.uk.
Any other attempts to register with a non-NTU email domain such as gmail or hotmail will result in a failed registration attempt.
Students and staff that have previously registered with personal email accounts will still be able to access their existing accounts.
