MetaLib and Get it! unavailable, 13 December

[05 December 2007]

MetaLib and Get it! will be unavailable on Thursday 13th December from 08:00 to 08:45 due to essential systems maintenance.

The following services will be unaffected during this period and can be accessed via the links below:

• Library Catalogue: your guide to the printed and microform and some other non-book materials held in all of our libraries.
• Electronic journals: access to approximately ten thousand online journals.
• External databases
  For finding references to published research, and often the full text. Web of Knowledge and ZETOC are examples. The ATHENS gateway is an alternative route to almost half of these databases. You will need an ATHENS username and password to access these.
• Electronic books and reports: access to thousands of online books.
• Inter-Library Loans: for material which is not available in our own libraries or on the Internet.
• Selected Internet resources: links to other library catalogues, book and publisher information and many other quick reference tools.
• Subject resources including subject internet links information and quick reference tools.
• Internet searching
  To help you use the Internet effectively there are specialist subject gateways, or more general search engines.
• Special collections
  We have very extensive collections of rare books, manuscripts and archives, many of which are catalogued separately and may not be found in the online catalogue.

Information Services would like to apologise for any inconvenience.
