We apologise for any inconvenience.

As part of the on-going Summon implementation, we’ve just finished making changes to our Athens authentication scripts.

If you experiencing any problems logging into Athens resources, or into any other electronic resources, please leave a comment or send an email to e.mailbox@hud.ac.uk

We’re currently experiencing problems with off-campus access to some of our resources, particularly when trying to access articles directly from MetaLib and Summon.

Access to resources via MyAthens is unaffected, so off-campus users may prefer to log directly into Athens.

Please accept our apologies whilst we work to resolve the problem.

As announced previously, Summon will officially replace MetaLib at the end of July. So, to help you plan for the switchover…

My MetaLib

If you’ve saved journal articles in MetaLib and you want to keep them, then you’ll need to export them (e.g. to EndNote) or email the abstracts to yourself.

Resources and Databases by Subject

Although we’d recommend using Summon to locate relevant articles, there’ll be times when you want to use a specific resource or database. The Electronic Resources List provides an A to Z list of major resources and databases, as well as individual lists for specific subjects. You can find a link to the list from the Summon home page.

Alternatively, you should be able to find links to your favourite resources within Summon, e.g. Mintel Reports and Cochrane.

Journal List

The new A-Z Journal List went live in February, so there won’t be any major changes. You can find a link to the list on the Summon home page.

Alternatively, if you know the name of a journal, you can find it by searching for the title in Summon, e.g. Journal of Clinical Nursing or European Journal of Marketing. To filter the results to journal titles, select “Journal” under “Content Type” in the “Refine your search” options. You may have to click on “more options” to be able to select the “Journal” option.

Any questions?

If you’ve got any questions after the switchover, please free to leave a comment or get in touch with your Subject Team in the Library.
