Subject: Internet Exploere 8 and Evidence Search- ERROR
Hello
Error: Unable to log-on to Athens using Internet Explorer 8.
Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust operates on Internet Explorer 8, which is the “maximum” level that XP will allow. The IT Department have advised that there is no intention to upgrade the Trust PC’s beyond XP. This is causing problems when both Library and Hospital staff try to log-on to their Athens account and an error message occurs which states that IE 8 cannot meet this request.
Although it is possible to run in IE 8 compatible mode by clicking on F12 option this is only functional at the time of the search and causes difficulty/inconvenience for staff/users both of whom are busy people, also only the few IT orientated people will realise what the problem is.
I would be grateful if you could please confirm that you are aware of this problem and whether it is planned that Evidence Search will run normally again on IE 8. It would be useful if some message of explanation could be posted on the main page of the site to advise NHS etc. users that they will need to upgrade from IE 8 so as to use this database. This will prevent calls from frustrated users.
If there is some other reason for not being able to access the log-in box (as it is when one clicks to type in the box this error occurs), I would be grateful if this could be rectified ASAP.
Thank you.

Subject: Anyone else having problems getting to Athens login for HDAS/NHS Evidence
Apologies for cross posting
Dear all
Whenever I try to access HDAS in the last two weeks, sometimes even from the Journals and Databases page and 99% of the time if I get as far as the Athens login after that page it does this, however if I login via MyAthens it doesn’t have any problems at all.
I will contact NICE when I hear back from the lists.
Thanks tons
Sarah
Best wishes
