Issues affecting access to e-resources when using NTU WiFi
THE LIBRARY IS currently experiencing issues accessing electronic resource platforms from devices that are connected to NTU WiFi.

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.
