The web directories withdrawn from LOS are as follows:

  • Intute
  • Intute: Arts and Humanities
  • Intute: Health & Life Sciences
  • Intute: Science, Engineering & Technology
  • Intute: Social Sciences
  • Intute: Social Sciences, Statistics and Data

Withdrawn resource: FORS (Forensic Science Service)

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

The entry for FORS (the Forensic Science Service) has been withdrawn from the list of databases available in Library OneSearch.

Since the withdrawal of funding from FORS it has no longer been accessible, and it has been listed in LOS as a withdrawn resource (alerting staff and students to the fact it was no longer available). FORS has now been withdrawn completely from LOS, and is no longer listed.

Verdict Reports – removed from Find a Database in Library OneSearch

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

The period of temporary access to Verdict Reports provided through the MarketLine service has now expired, and as a result access to Verdict Reports has been suspended in Library OneSearch, pending new subscription arrangements.

A further update will follow as-and-when access to Verdict Reports is restored and re-enabled in Library OneSearch.

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

Access to electronic version of The Economist journal concludes today at the end of LLR’s subscription to the resource through the ProQuest platform.

Access has been switched off in SFX, the ejournal record suppressed in Aleph and the entry in Library OneSearch will be updated shortly.

Withdrawn platforms: CSA Illumina, Chadwyck-Healey and (legacy) ProQuest

Head of Discovery and Digital Futures

As previously advised access to the CSA Illumina, Chadwyck-Healey and (legacy) ProQuest platforms ends tomorrow (21 August 2012).

All of LLR’s subscription resources that could be moved to the new ProQuest platform were migrated at the start of the year, but from tomorrow any library customers who had bookmarked access to these withdrawn platforms will no longer be able to access them, and will be directed to the new ProQuest interface.

Three of LLR’s subscription resources will continue to be made available on one of the Chadwyck-Healey platforms not yet configured for migration:

  1. MLA International Bibliography
  2. LION (Literature Online)
  3. ABELL (Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature)

These resources will be migrated to the new platform as soon as ProQuest has finished the necessary configuration work.
