Access to the ANTE service has been withdrawn from eSearch, following the conclusion of LLR’s current subscription.

Access to the Trading Standards Specialist has been withdrawn from eSearch, following the conclusion of LLR’s current subscription.
Business Insights – access page change
The access page for the Business Insights service in eSearch has been synchronised to match that provided for the Verdict service.
ESDS (Economic and Social Data Service) – access updated
Access to the ESDS service in eSearch has been updated to point to the UK Data Archive entry point. Access to the data sets in the collection is still by university username and password, and requires individual registration. The description of the registration process has also been updated and extended in eSearch.
FAME (new interface) – off-campus access enabled
Off-campus access to the FAME (new interface) service has now been activated in eSearch. (Previously only on-campus access was available.) Access is by university username and password (using Shibboleth). Off-campus links to both the FAME (new interface) and FAME services have also been updated to resolve directly to the NTU Single Sign-on page (bypassing the WAYF – ‘Where Are You From?’ – page).
New resource: Business Source Complete
Access to the Business Source Complete full-text database has been enabled in eSearch. Access is direct on-campus and by university username and password from off-campus. Business Source Complete replaces the ‘Business Source Premier’ service (which has now been withdrawn from eSearch and SFX). All of the full-text titles in Business Source Complete service have been enabled in SFX. Catalogue records for titles in the collection will be added to the Library Catalogue at the next refresh of the ejournal record set.
Wiley InterScience to Wiley Online Library
Wiley journals are now made available through the integrated Wiley Online Library platform. All links from SFX to Wiley journals have been redirected to this new location to ensure continuity of access. Wiley are in the process of enabling Shibboleth based authentication for NTU for off-campus access to Wiley titles. As well as being able to customise the interface display (by the inclusion of an NTU logo, which links back to the NTU web site), Wiley now makes full-text entitlement much more transparent to the visitor. On the Wiley InterScience platform, entitlement was only confirmed at the point of an individual full-text request, and there was no view within the platform which made clear which issues of a particular journal were available as part of the subscription range. The Wiley Online Library now incorporates a padlock graphic display to indicate which issues are ‘locked’ and ‘unlocked’ in full-text – see illustration below:
Key Skill: Animal Anatomy and Physiology Collection – access to new platform
Access to the new Key Skill: Animal Anatomy and Physiology Collection interface has been enabled in eSearch. Enrolment for the online course requires first that students register and second that they enter an ‘Enrolment key’. This key is held on the secure ‘Other Passwords’ page of the LLR web site. Details of how to register and enrol have been added to eSearch and the Other Passwords pages.
Bridgeman Education – new interface
The Bridgeman Education art database has launched a new interface, complete with a range of new features. Access remains direct on-campus and by university username and password (using eZproxy) from off-campus. Bridgeman plan to have full Shibboleth based authentication for off-campus access enabled soon; at which point LLR will migrate to this option in preference.
PubMed link updated in eSearch
The link to the native interface of PubMed in eSearch, which was failing to resolve correctly, has now been updated. Metasearching, remote searching and deep-linking to records in PubMed are all working normally.
FAME – new interface
The FAME service have launched a new interface, which is currently being run in parallel with the previous interface to allow sites to schedule their transition from the old platform to the new. An additional FAME record has been added to eSearch entitled ‘FAME (new interface)’ which resolves customers directly to the new site. Access to this additional FAME service is direct on-campus, but not currently available from off-campus.
New resource trial: Osiris
Trial access to the new Osiris database service has been enabled in eSearch. For the period of the trial (which lasts until 22 September) access is direct on-campus, but not available from off-campus. The resource is described as follows:
Financial information on 64,000 listed and major unlisted/delisted companies worldwide (50,000 are non-US companies). The information includes: standardised and “as reported” financials (including restated reports), SEC filings, detailed earnings estimates including recommendations, ownership, stock data, news and ratings
Feedback on any aspect of the trial should be shared with Charles Knight.
