Athens access problems solved / planned downtime

Posted on September 28th, 2011 by Paul Stainthorp

This morning’s problems with Athens access to electronic library resources have been solved.

All e-resources that use Athens should now be working OK. Here are some tips on logging in to library resources via Athens.

To ensure that this problem doesn’t happen again, we’re going to have to carry out some maintenance to Athens on Tuesday, 11 October 2011, at 08.30 am.

Athens access to e-resources will be unavailable for up to 15 minutes at that time.

This will affect access to:

  • All e-books
  • Nearly all e-journals
  • Some electronic databases
  • Digimap
  • RefWorks
  • etc.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this necessary maintenance.
