Colleagues
Further to Iain's message below on our Anatomy database. I can confirm that
our Anatomy database is now only available via an ATHENS username and
password. This has had to take place regrettably due to licensing
restrictions on the database that have come into force.
To clarify our users options:-
* If your pc is on nhsnet, you do not need a password to get into
Anatomy or any of our content (e.g. Cochrane Library, Clinical Evidence
etc.)
* If your work pc is not on nhsnet, and/or you want to use us from
home, you need a password to use Anatomy, Cochrane Library etc. - this is
because these
resources are only licensed for use by UK NHS staff and healthcare
students, or users providing services to the NHS (e.g. lecturers,
librarians)
* In order to get a password, you need to register. Please follow the
link below - users need to fill in an online form and e-mail it to us. We
will then e-mail you your registration details asap -
http://www.athens.nhs.uk/perl/nelh.pl
* If you have recently obtained an Athens password from us but it
will not let you access Anatomy, please e-mail me and we will investigate
further - we encountered some teething troubles with the changeover but we
believe that we have now solved these.
* Users need to note that an Athens password issued by HE will not get
them into Anatomy - only to Cochrane Library on our site
* However, users in Trent and West Midlands NHS regions who have an
Athens password to access regional resources should find that this password
will allow them access
Further details on eligibility and registration are available at

Subject: anatomy.tv via NeLH
Either by accident or by design, up until recently we were able to access
anatomy.tv via NeLH.
( http://www.nelh.nhs.uk/anatomy/default.asp )
However this has now changed and access is only available to those with an
NHS Athens username and password. I knew that this would happen eventually
but I don't remember seeing any announcement that this change was pending
and/or had taken place. Did I miss something?
To those in HE: do any of you already subscribe to this resource or is
anyone planning to subscribe to it? Are there any plans to license it to HE
via NeLH in the same way as the Cochrane Library is? It seemed to be quite a
popular learning resource for students.
Cheers,
Iain
