Updates on electronic resources from the library of Nottingham Trent University
The error page users reported last week appears to have been resolved and testing confirms access for both off-campus and on-campus users has been restored.
Access is now available again through the Scopus Find Databases page.
When accessing Scopus using the off-campus link users may see the following page, describing a institutional access error.
On campus access appears to be unaffected, although attempts to create a personal account may also result in the same error.
We are currently working with Elsevier support to try and resolve this as soon as possible.
Users may be able to access Scopus indirectly, by first logging into Science Direct, then using the Explore Elsevier options at the bottom of the page, selecting Scopus, and then the Sign In option from the main Scopus page.
Access to our ACS subscribed content has been restored. You can now access ACS articles and journals through Library OneSearch or our ACS database record.
The library is currently investigating the loss of access to most ACS subscribed content for both on and off campus users.
Any attempt to access ACS articles or journals through Library OneSearch or the Find Databases route may see this following message:
The off-campus authentication issues to this platform have now been resolved by the provider and full access restored.
