Econlit moving to EBSCO

Econlit will shortly be moving to the EBSCO platform, which will make it much easier to use, have SFX linking and will have some full-text articles.

If you would like to view it now it can be accessed by going through any of the other EBSCO databases. (It is at the bottom of the list)

GMID - new interface

GMID's new interface is now live and looks easier to use than the old one. Much clearer layout. More details from Sue M. and Olivia.

Off-Campus PC

We now have a working off-campus PC to test access to e-resources when users report problems from home, work, etc.

I have the connection at my desk, so if anyone reports a problem that we can’t replicate from our networked PCs, please pass it on to Gill or me or come to the Floor 2 office so we can investigate further.

Thanks,

James.

MetaLib - My Space

Hi Everyone,

Please note that Paul has added a message to the Login screen of MetaLib to warn users that during the upgrade this summer they will lose any information they have saved to their My Space area within MetaLib. This is because we will be changing the login credentials that people will be using. After the upgrade users will login with their Active Directory username and password, which we feel will be a big improvement.

Thanks,

James.
