LinkSource problem fixed

We believe that the problem with LinkSource not opening correctly and giving a blank page is now fixed. If you do continue to have any problems, please let us know.



LinkSource problem

We are having problems with LinkSource, the service which redirects you from results in one database to the full text article in another. Instead of opening the LinkSource page, we're getting blank pages.












We think that the problem is something to do with the software we use to authenticate you as University of Bedfordshire students. We are looking for a solution, but in the meantime we suggest clearing your browser cookies and cache, and starting a fresh browser session. Alternatively, if you are on campus, delete the 0- and the .brum.beds.ac.uk from the address bar, until the address startes linksource.ebsco.com, and refresh. You should find the page loads correctly. In the last resort, you can use the library catalogue to find the journal title you want and browse through to the article that way.

EThOS, the British Library PhD thesis service, is running a user survey. The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete – and you can enter a prize draw to win a Kindle.
