Trial Use: Bentham Direct

The Bentham Direct journals are in trial use in the Aalto network until 5.11.2010. The package mostly includes titles in medicine, but also includes some journals on analytical, combinatorial and organic chemistry, bioinformatics, biotechnology, drug delivery, engineering, nanoscience and neuroscience, as well as patents in these fields.

Please give feedback on the resource by leaving a comment, sending email or by filling in the webform.

Nelli back in use

The problems with the Nelli portal have been fixed and it works properly again.

Problems with Nelli search results

For an unknown reason search results are currently not shown in the Nelli-portal. The search seems to be performed normally, but when accessing the result list the error message: "Error 501 Timeout reached" is shown.

The problem has been reported and will hopefully be fixed soon. Please use the publisher platforms in the meanwhile.

I apologise for the inconvenience!

Myilibrary improvements

Myilibrary has updated their platform and e-book viewer to offer smoother navigation and easier use. You can now scroll down to the next page (unfortunately not in quite all the books, as one format does not allow this). The new viewer seems to work smoothly with Vista, unlike its predecessor.
