We know that many of our NHS staff use Keele University networked equipment to access both university and NHS-based resources. This may be via Keele networked computers, wifi access or Keele University logins.
You need to be aware that this can have unintended
consequences to your access to NHS-based resources. If Keele University has the
same subscription, for example to an online journal or database, or even a
subscription with the same publisher / provider, then this may negatively impact
on your access to NHS resources.
What will happen?
Usually the resource will deny you access to the NHS-based
resource. You may get an error page or there may be no obvious information
(other than you don’t get access to full-text).
What can you do?
Check whether you are logged in correctly by looking for the
institution logo or text indicating the resource is from your trust or the
Health Library.
Check whether the page gives you an option for an
alternative log on via a different institution. Use this to see if you can log
in via the OpenAthens log in.
Please see our blog post Working
with multiple resources from multiple organisations for help in avoiding
the problem.
Need more help?
Please get in touch with the Health
Library if you encounter any problems accessing NHS resources.
