Unfortunately, Barbour have announced that they will be closing their Barbour Construction Expret service. This was a business decision based on restrictions on the supply of information from some of their vendors and is ouwith our control. Access to their other services will remain unaffected.

Changes in subscription content

Unfortunately, due to budget pressures next year, we have had to remove MD Consult from the e-Library's collection of subscriptions resources.

From March 31st we will no longer have access to MD Consult resources. This will obviously have an affect on our eBooks collection however we will soon be offering access to the following titles via OVID:

Essentials of Microbiology for Dental Students
Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation: A Reference Guide to Fetal and Neonatal Risk
Guide to Effective Care in Pregnancy and Childbirth
Health Measurement Scales
Obesity Prevention and Public Health
Oxford Handbook for the Foundation Programme

Oxford Handbook of Clinical and Laboratory Investigations
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Diagnosis
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine
Oxford Handbook of Critical Care
Oxford Handbook of Dental Patient Care
Oxford Handbook of General Practice
Oxford Handbook of Genitourinary Medicine, HIV and AIDS
Social Determinants of Health

In terms of MD Consult journals, a number of the titles in MD Consult are available via other providers, especially Science Direct, however we will no longer be providing access to the following journals:
American Journal of Kidney Diseases
American Journal of Medicine
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
American Journal of Sports Medicine
Journal of Pediatrics
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography
Lancet Infectious Diseases
Lancet Neurology
Lancet Oncology
The Clinics series

Again due to the same budgetary pressures, we will also be reviewing our access to Web of Science and the pharmacuetical resources Martindale, Stockley's and Herbal Medicines and it is possible that access will be removed in the coming weeks but this can not be clarified at this point in time.

We will be adding the following resources to the e-Library in April but it must be stressed that these are not replacments for the above resources:

Dynamed

DynaMed is a medical information database with nearly 3,000 clinical topic summaries. Designed for use at the point-of-care, providing bestavailable evidence and updated daily.

UptoDate

UpToDate is specifically designed to answer the clinical questions that arise in daily practice and to do so quickly and easily so that it can be used right at the point of care. Our physician editors and authors review and update our content on a continuous basis and a new, peer-reviewed version is issued every four months. The published evidence is summarized and specific recommendations made for patient care.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this but as already stated this has been due to budgetary issues.
