Financial Times - embargo of 30 days now in force

The Financial Times is available to staff and students electronically via two databases

• ABI Inform Complete (business journal database collection) 
• Nexis UK  (newspaper and trade journal collection). 

From the 1st August, 2013 News International have placed a rolling embargo of 30 days on providing FT articles in full text via database providers.  You will still be able to search and identify articles of interest via the databases even those published in the last month.  However, you will need to access our print collection on the ground floor of the library to read an article in full if it was published within 30 days.  The latest copies of the Financial Times are available on the news stand in Café Libro.

To access the Financial Times electronically please

• Go to the Library homepage and choose the icon :
• On the top toolbar choose Journals
• Type in the title of the newspaper Financial Times
• Choose the access you require

Access to Lexis Library and Nexis UK

Due to a problem with the login system, on and off-campus access to Lexis Library is currently unavailable. Off-campus access to Nexis UK is also unavailable. While we attempt to fix this, Nexis UK is still available on-campus and can be accessed off-campus by going via the proxy server. We will add a comment to this post when the problem is fixed. Apologies for the inconvenience.

**UPDATE** While the suppliers are trying to fix this problem, they have set up IP access to Lexis Library for us. This means that Lexis Library is now available on-campus, and can be accessed via the proxy server from off-campus.
