Hello
I have been asked to forward the following email to you.
Regards,
Colin
You will by now have seen much of the difficulty we have been having with the technical side of NeLH, particularly with NHSnet access. It is, I hope, getting better now and it would be nice if the problems could be put down to teething troubles, we will see.
NeLH is available at nww.nhs.uk/nelh and www.nhs.uk/nelh <http://www.nhs.uk/nelh> . The nww site should permit free, seamless access to Cochrane and Clinical Evidence but this seems intermittent. I recommend you go to nww.nhs.uk and follow the link to NeLH as this seems to work fine every time.
We were a little premature in some of our leaflets in suggesting that access to core resources is available from the Internet for staff via a username and password (and suggesting that you 'ask your librarian about this'). This is the Athens authentication that we still plan to implement imminently but did not complete testing by the time of the launch, it will be running in January, if not sooner and librarians will receive communications about what it is and how it operates.
Thanks for hanging on in with us. Sorry for the confusion that this will have caused.
regards
Pete Bladen
