Database Issues

A couple of issues have arisen with access to databases:

Lexis-Nexis: We would greatly prefer you to access Lexis-Nexis through WebFeat rather than asking for the user name and password. To access Lexis-Nexis through Webfeat, enter your search term and scroll through the list of databases, tick the box next to the Lexis-Nexis database (Butterworths or News and Business) and search. Viewing any of results will take you in to the Lexis-Nexis database itself. From there,you can search within Lexis-Nexis as if you had logged into with a username and password.

Mintel: Due to, we suspect some background technical changes made, Mintel no longer works with Internet Explorer on campus. It does work with Firefox and so we will be restoring Firefox to all student PCs in the next week or so.

Search all resources: This opens in a separate window and may be minimised, so be careful! If nothing appears to be happening, check the tabs at the bottom of the screen
