Databases out of action Sunday 22nd September

NICE are conducting some essential maintenance to HDAS (Healthcare Databases Advanced Search) starting on Sunday the 22nd September starting at 7 am.

The maintenance is scheduled to run until 7 pm

During this time HDAS will not be available.




There is also some maintenance being carried out on the OpenAthens system between 7 and 9 am on Monday the 23rd. This could also potentially cause problems with access to all of our electronic resources including journal, books and databases.

Apologies for any inconvenience.
