We are having some problems today with DISCOVER and EBSCOhost databases.
It seems to be working better in Edge than Chrome so it's worth switching browsers if you can.
EBSCO are working to fix the issue as soon as possible.

Problems accessing content from DISCOVER
We are having some issues this morning with access to content from DISCOVER, particularly from Publications finder (where you search for journal titles), and with linking to articles that don't sit within the EBSCOhost platform. We have logged this with EBSCO and hope it will be fixed soon. If you are really for the content right now, copy the article/journal title and search for it on the open web, then you may need to navigate through the publishers' login options to get access to it (look for Institutional login option, then search for University of Bedfordshire).
