It’ll only be available on the EBSCOhost platform. The links on the Databases A-Z have been changed.

Blackwell journals on Swetswise are working again.
Swets say they had “some unexpected problems with the cookie structure” when the content shifted to Wiley Interscience.
But clever SwetsWise “has created a workaround so that all full-text articles are fully accessible once again”.
Well done, SwetsWise boffins.
We’ve made a link to OPAC which automatically authenticates users. It’s the link on our Electronic resources page .
It’ll help people who want to access electronic resources from OPAC. By using this link they won’t have to remember to authenticate first.
We’re also arranging a meeting to discuss how we can make authenticating less of a problem for OPAC users. The meeting is on the 5th August in Harrison around 10am. Could we ask for interested volunteers, please? Could you email us if you’d like to take part.
We’ll confirm the exact time and room in the next week or so.
At the meeting we also want to discuss Athens and authentication in general. How do we re-phrase the way we talk about them now that Athens is being superceded?
What’s special about The Journal of Health and Social Care Improvement? Well, we think it’s the first ejournal published by the University.
The first issue is available at www.wlv.ac.uk/chsci/ejournal.
(If you know of other ejournals published by the University, could you let us know please?)
