Scopus - have been search issues, now resolved

Scopus have reported that  they had a number of problems yesterday:

in many instances, searches are returning incorrect record counts, incorrect document and citation counts, etc. despite the fact that the records themselves are in the index. Side effects include degraded h-index calculations, and author publication counts.

The problems have now been resolved, but if you were using Scopus yesterday, you may want to re-do your searches.

CBT nuggets update

Usage by some users of our subscription with CBT Nuggets has led to our account being temporarily disabled. Each CBT Nuggets video is protected by copyright, and pursuant to our License Agreement with CBT Nuggets, the users of this subscription account may not copy, distribute, or reproduce any CBT Nuggets content in any form. Any such occurrence will result in the immediate and permanent termination of our subscription with CBT Nuggets.

CBT Nuggets

We are having a problem with CBT Nuggets at the moment - some helpful student has tried to change our password, presumably to lock the rest of you out, and has now frozen the entire account. Please do not try to change passwords on library resources - it's very unhelpful to everyone else, and it won't work, because the password reset link comes to an email address which only staff have access to. Hopefully we will get access restored soon.
