The new Taylor & Francis platform is now live at www.tandfonline.com. This replaces the platform previously known as InformaWorld.
If you notice any access problems with Taylor & Francis journals during this transition, please report them to collections@libr.

We now subscribe to SSRN’s Financial Economics Network (FEN) and Economics Research Network (ERN).
Users receive new content directly by email, so access is restricted to nominated users. Our subscription allows 10 users for each network.
More Information about FEN and ERN can be found here

We now have a subscription to the National Fire Codes which are published by the National Fire Protection Association. This provides online access to all NFPA fire codes and standards. Some of the pdfs are very large so it is advisable to choose the download option rather than ‘view online’.

There are also an additional 30 titles in the Sage deep backfile this year.

For most of our Taylor & Francis ejournals we have access from 1997 onwards. We have noticed that the green icon and message which says “you have access” is appearing alongside earlier years which we don’t subscribe to.
We contacted Taylor & Francis about this and they have replied:
“Informaworld is currently experiencing technical difficulties with the green access icon. Not only is it showing access to content that you/your institution is entitled to, but is also showing the green icon for content to which you are not subscribed.
This error is unfortunately a site bug that is currently being investigated by our technical team. Please note this does not in any way affect online access to your subscriptions.”

Our access has been restored. A password is required, but we do have premium access – back to 1956.
