Please note that many of the suppliers only gave temporary access to their resources until 30th June 2020 so if the resource you are looking for is no longer available then this is the reason. However, some suppliers have generously extended free access but it is important to note the temporary nature of this and once normal operations resume the additional resources will not be accessible so please ensure you take a note of all information you need for your reference list.
Some of these resources have been added to our existing databases and can be searched via OneSearch or from within the database, some are totally standalone. It is advisable to allow more time when searching for resources as you will need to perform the same search across multiple databases.
