Coming soon: ft.com off-campus

One of the reasons we are switching from WebFeat ("Search All Resources") to EBSCOHost Integrated Search (EHIS), is that more databases can be searched through EHIS. A beneficial side effect of this is that it means more databases are accessible off-campus. Encyclopaedia Britannica is now available off-campus (via EHIS) and I'm very pleased to say that very soon you'll be able to read the Financial Times off-campus too, again via EHIS. We'll let you know when it's available. Still waiting on a few other databases though, which is why EHIS is buried deep in the bowels of WebFeat

Sadly not at this time, but we have temporary access to WSJ Asia if you're interested (contact the library for details). The WSJ is part of the News International Group and all such content is going behind a paywall soon. If there was a demand for the WSJ, it's something we'd look into though
