E-Services have just finished loading bibliographic records for Academic Complete ebooks (129,088 titles) onto Horizon this morning. We encourage LLs and other library staff to promote this new resource across a range of library tutorials, programmes or other events because those eBooks offer unlimited user access (with DRM though).

Given Academic Complete is live already and its individual bibliographical records will be loaded to Horizon later this week, we have removed 21,910 DDA titles from  our patron-driven profile and current DDA titles has been reduced to 4, 396 titles (number of new titles will increase gradually) which focusing on currently published material (2015->) leaving Academic Complete to provide access to material published prior to 2015.

Specific patron-driven titles that may get deleted and then turn out to be still needed and not available on Academic Complete can be put back into our patron-driven profile quickly and easily (or purchased).

Any concerns, queries or specific DDA title requests please contact acquisitions@libr.canterbury.ac.nz

When you try to access the book, you get the  “page can’t be displayed” message.

Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.
