DISCOVER and other EBSCO databases via UK Acess Management Federation



There is a problem with accessing DISCOVER and all EBSCO databases via the UK Access Management Federation link. This will only affect accessing databases via the UK access management federation link from the library catalogue or when using the DISCOVER search box on LRWeb from off-campus.

If you are off-campus, you can access DISCOVER this way to avoid the problem.
