You are right. Easter long w/e so it seems a long time since I wrote it.
Maybe it is as you say and I must have already been logged into athens when
I opened Proquest. Perhaps what i meant was that you can go direct from
ATHENS to Proquest rather than thru NELH?
Anyway, the process in Proquest, is rather obscure and unhelpful and perhaps
someone should point this out to them as a lot of health staff will want
browse
