Problems with Proquest

NHS staff are currently unable to log in to Proquest.  This seems to be related to Proquest’s recent Athens upgrade. The problem has been logged but we currently do not know when it will be resolved.  We will update you when we have more details.  If you have any questions regarding accessing journals through Proquest please contact Karen John-Pierre, (kjohn@sgul.ac.uk) for help.

Access to JAMA may be disrupted early hours of Friday morning

NHS Athens users please note that we have been informed that scheduled maintenance will be conducted by the providers of JAMA resources between the hours of 4-9am on Friday 25 January 2013.  As a result, this resource may not be available during this period.
