Updates on electronic resources from the library of Nottingham Trent University
The off-campus authentication issues to this platform have now been resolved by the provider and full access restored.
Our provider apologises for any inconvenience this temporary outage may have caused.
We are currently experiencing some authentication issues with Rock’s Backpages, and are working with them to restore off-campus access as soon as possible.
Note that the database can still be searched for references, but full content is temporarily unavailable for off-campus users. On campus access is unaffected.
Essential maintenance will be carried out on the VLeBooks platform between 22:00 Sat 25 January and 04:00 Sun 26 January.
Access to their e-book content will be unavailable during this time.
The library apologises for any interruption in service that this causes.
A scheduled system maintenance period for eZproxy authentication, one of our single-sign on services, will begin Saturday 21 December between 05:00 and 18:00 hours.
The provider advises that this authentication service will be unavailable for approximately six hours during this maintenance window so off-campus access to some of our electronic resources and journals may be unavailable during this time and you may see a connection timeout or connection refused page.
The provider advises that in the event of access issues to try again later or outside of the scheduled maintenance period.
Please note that Nielsen Portfolio (Creative Club UK) has been withdrawn from the library’s Find Databases service following non-renewal of the licensing agreement.
