Goodbye to Athens!

Staff and students are reminded that from the 10th June the Athens username and password is a thing of the past. Resource searches should be started from SOLAR, using your network username and password where required.  If resources are accessed via another route, the Login via your Institution / Library / Organisation / Shibboleth link should be used. This route will also require your network username and password.  This change should make accessing electronic books, journals and databases much easier as it removes the need to remeber additional usernames and passwords.
