Web of Science – access will cease on 31 December 2019

Just a reminder that access to Web of Science will cease at the end of this month.  Clarivate (the producers of Web of Science) have started writing to some of our academics (possibly the ones with saved searches) advising our access will be ceasing on 31/12.  In the sample email from Clarivate I saw, it states that Medline is one of the Web of Science resources we will lose access to.  We have access to Medline via OVID and we have renewed this subscription.

We have removed links to Web of Science on the library’s database pages but some links (subject guides) have been left until the bitter end (first thing in 2020).

Although the Library has extensively communicated regarding the Web of Science discussion and subsequent decision to cancel, we have put together this wiki page with links to the various messages, memos and communications over the past 3 years.  This could be useful to refer to should any users who have not got wind of this decision pop out of the woodwork.
