Dawsonera ebooks - downtime Saturday 1st February 4pm

We've been warned of downtime for Dawsonera ebooks on Saturday 1st February. The outage will start at 4pm and last about half an hour. This is due to maintenance work on the internet lines from our supplier's premises.

Dawsonera are continuing to make improvements to the download functionality - please let us know if it is not working correctly for you.

Discover/EBSCOhost folder problem - "Application Level Exception"

We've had reports of people getting "Application Level Exception" errors when trying to access their personal folders in DISCOVER or elsewhere in EBSCOhost.

EBSCO are working on a fix for this at the moment, and hope to have it sorted in the next week or two. The problem does not affect all accounts, and it does seem to be intermittent, so if you get this error, try again later.

Free webinar Using doctoral theses in your research: a guide to EThOS

The British Library is holding a free webinar on how their EThoS PhD theses service works.

EThOS is the national database for PhD theses, managed by the British Library. It’s a fantastic resource for researchers, with over 100,000 UK theses freely available to download and use for your own research, and another 200,000 available to search and scan on demand.

Find out how to search for and download theses, and what to do if a thesis isn’t available. If you’re a PhD student, find out what will happen to your thesis once it’s completed. We’ll also explain how EThOS works with UK universities to support the whole research cycle, making the theses more visible and available for new researchers to use and build on.

Host: Sara Gould, Development Manager at the British Library, who manages the EThOS service, and Melissa Byrd, who deals with marketing for Higher Education.

• we have tidied up the homepage to ensure that those links used more frequently have priority
