Taylor & Francis Online Mobile

Taylor & Francis Online have introduced a mobile version of their database allowing you to access the resource via iPhone, Android, Blackberry and tablet devices. It’s free to use, and can be set up in a few minutes when you are on campus.

Getting started on Taylor & Francis Online Mobile involves simply typing the url www.tandfonline.cominto the browser of a mobile device. There is also help and instructions available to get users started at http://www.tandfonline.com/page/help/mobile.

As a member of the University, you can extend access to your mobile device for 180 days by pairing it to our library. An email alert will be sent to you three days before the pairing expires.

If you are connecting to Taylor & Francis Online Mobile via the University wireless network GreenNet, your device will be paired to the library automatically.

To pair your device with an institution, view the video demo or follow the instructions below:

Pairing process

Click the Mobile link at the top of the screen.
You will be directed to a page where you can sign in or register to receive a mobile pairing code. Save the code once you have received it – you will then be able to use it for five minutes.

CINAHL Plus with Full Text

CINAHL Plus with Full Text replaces CINAHL and the British Nursing Index on EBSCOhost from today. CINAHL Plus is an expanded version of CINAHL with extra content, most of it full text.

For those teaching or studying nursing and midwifery, you have access to the British Journal of Nursing and the British Journal of Midwifery online.

You can see the range of journals available as full text from the Publications tab when you are logged in to CINAHL Plus with Full Text.

CINAHL Plus with Full Text has almost the same content as CINAHL and British Nursing Index and is accessible via EBSCOhost so you can search it together with Medline and PsycInfo.

You can find further information about CINAHL Plus and its coverage from the EBSCO product page.
