Hi everyone.

I’ve put this on library news (scheduled to go up on Monday) but am posting it here too to bring to staff attention.  I don’t think we subscribe to many of the databases mentioned here so hopefully the impact will be fairly minimal (we only subscribe to Early English Books Online, Parliamentary papers and MLA International Bibliography, Chadwyck-Healey databases).

Kind Regards,

Romy (on behalf of e-services)
