Behind the scenes.....

We provide access to thousands of e-journals and e-books purchased by the University on your behalf.
If you've ever wondered how this happens, take a look at this recent article describing some of the work which goes on behind the scenes.

Passport (Euromonitor) - Access problems


Unfortunately, access to the Euromonitor database Passport is currently unavailable.  We are experiencing the following error message when we try and access the database on-campus or off-campus:


We are in contact with Euromonitor and hope to get access reinstated as soon as possible.  Updates will be provided by the Blog and via our Twitter feed @AstonLIS

Update:
You should now be able to access Passport whether you are based on campus or off campus.  Access Passport via the Databases link or the LibGuides .  The direct URL is : http://openathensproxy.aston.ac.uk/login?qurl=http://www.portal.euromonitor.com

We are still working with Euromonitor to rectify the original problem but thank you to the Library Information Resources Team for creating a work around.

Access problems have now been resolved.  21 November 09:00 (L. Matheson).
