Upcoming Changes to National Core Content: Action Required!
As the national contracts with ProQuest and Oxford University Press (OUP) conclude on June 30, 2025, some actions may be required to ensure continued access to essential resources.
If you use ProQuest's PsycINFO and have a My Research account, please download any saved searches before June 30, 2025, as national access to the platform will cease. The library team can help you find alternative resources for your research needs.
For Oxford University Press Handbooks, online access via ProQuest has ended. However, many popular titles are still available in print within our library collection.
We encourage all staff to review their research practices and take any necessary steps. Please don't hesitate to contact the library team for assistance and to explore alternative resources.
