Science Direct workaround

We're still having problems accessing some journal articles in Science Direct, but we do now have a workaround. 
Sometimes full text access is not happening when you click the PDF icon:




But if you click the article title instead (e.g. "Virucidal efficacy of hydrogen peroxide vapour disinfection"), you do get through to the full text.

We have reported this issue to the publisher.  If this workaround doesn't work for you, or you have any other problems opening articles, please report them to us at library.technical@beds.ac.uk.
