Free COVID-19 e-resources expired

Kia ora koutou

Recently our temporary access to some free COVID-19 e-resources has expired (expired on 31 July):

  • Cambridge Covid-19 Reference and Textbooks Collection (free access)
  • Springer free eTextbook collection – Covid-19

LAC is in the process of removing the records from Horizon and other places but it may take a couple of weeks for them to disappear from Multisearch full text search results.  If users report not having access to “full-text online” ebooks via Multisearch, this may be the cause.

Users should be able to request Interloans for these books if we don’t hold them via other vendors/formats (if there’s a citation online link they can use the “request interloan” through that).

Ngā mihi,

Romy (on behalf of eServices and LAC)
