Updates on electronic resources from the library of Nottingham Trent University
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.

Off-campus access to the GMID (Global Market Information Database) service is currently unavailable, due to technical problems affecting the GMID platform. On-campus access is unaffected. A number of university library services (relying on university username and password access to GMID for off-campus access) are reporting similar problems. A note alerting customers to the issue has been added to the GMID record in the ‘Find Databases’ section of Library OneSearch. A further update will follow once the GMID technical team has confirmed that Shibboleth-enabled access is working normally once more.
The problem preventing off-campus access to the GMID service has now been resolved. On-campus access continues to be direct with off-campus access by university username and password (using Shibboleth). The ‘service issue’ icon displaying in eSearch for this resource has been removed.
eServices is working with the Global Market Information Database technical team to resolve a problem which is preventing Shibboleth authenticated access to the service from working successfully from off-campus. A further update will follow once off-campus access to the service has been restored.
The GMID database service has migrated to a new platform, and all of LLR’s resource discovery links have been updated accordingly. Access remains direct on-campus; with Athens authentication required for off-campus access. On-campus visitors will need to review and accept the GMID Terms & Conditions each time they access the service; off-campus vistors will only be required to accept the T&C once (as their acceptance is recorded against their Athens username).
eServices has forwarded several recommendations to GMID to improve still-further access and authentication management on the new platform: there is, at present, no facility to log-out of the service; and visitors can find themselves locked out of the interface if they make navigation ‘errors’. Please report any customer access difficulties on the new platform to eServices.
