We are still working on this issue. However, we do have a temporary workaround that does seem to work, using these alternative links to access Scopus and Science Direct:
http://0-www-scopus-com.brum.beds.ac.uk
https://0-www-sciencedirect-com.brum.beds.ac.uk/
If you are on campus you should get access automatically.
If you are off campus it will look like this:
Look for the icon that looks like a temple (this means Institution
login). Ignore the Sign in button.
The click Check access.
This brings up a box where you can search for University of
Bedfordshire:
It suggests you can put your email address in this box –
don’t. Just put “Bedfordshire”.
Click Access through your organization and login with your
usual UoB account, if it asks you to. If you have recently logged into another
system, you may not need to.
Hopefully you will now be logged in and good to go!
Another thing that can sometimes work is using a different browser, eg Edge if you usually use Chrome, or using a Private/Incognito tab.
You could also consider using the alternative database Web of Science instead of Scopus.
We are currently experiencing problems with login to Scopus and Science Direct when off-campus. We are working urgently to get this resolved but in the meantime please try this alternative Scopus link, or this link for Science Direct.
There is currently an issue with logins to IEEE Explore.
We are investigating and hope to have it restored soon. If you are on campus, please try this alternative link.
In a slight change of plan we are now going to be upgrading the server that manages login to library services on Wednesday 2nd October. We are not planning any downtime if all goes to plan, but there is a risk of disruption to logins from 9am.
Logins at risk include:

The authentication system for most of our Digital Library resources is going to be updated on Monday 15th April. We are not expecting any downtime unless there are problems with the installation.
We believe that last week's problems with logging into DISCOVER have now been fixed.
If you continue to have any issues, please contact us at library.technical@beds.ac.uk, with as much information as you can, including your student number and a screenshot of the error message if you can get it.
We've had some reports of people getting error messages when trying to log in to DISCOVER recently.
If you get either of these error messages
What are the Library doing?
We are changing the account login screen for the Library Catalogue and access to digital resources. This will affect you if you want to reserve or renew books and if you want to access digital resources via our proxy server, i.e. resources with a URL beginning "0-"
When will this be done?
The change will take place on Wednesday 21st June at 10.00am.
What will be affected?
It is anticipated that here will be no effect on services.
Why are we doing this?
To allow integration with the University single sign-on system
What do you need to do?
There is no need to take action.
At log on you will see the following screen,
If you are a UoB student or member of staff, choose UoB Single Sign-On. Students can then login as usual with your registration number and password. Staff should now login with their network username rather than the library X-number as before.
If you are an external library user, i.e. not a student or member of staff, you will need to use the Library Login option, and use the same login details as before.
If you do have any problems please let us know.
