Ebrary Ebooks & MultiSearch Problem

There is a problem linking from our search engine to the Ebrary site where the books are hosted - it is in the process of being fixed.

In the meantime you can get around it by clicking on the ebooks button just below the main search box and choosing Ebrary. Once you're in Ebrary just search for the title of the book or type in your required keywords.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Ebrary Sign in Problem

The library is currently experiencing problems with personal logins in Ebrary. The following error message is appearing when you try to login: 

"Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

The proxy server could not handle the request GET /lib/gmit/login.action.

Reason: Error reading from remote server"

We are currently working to resolve this issue, apologies for the inconvenience. This problem does not affect searching or opening ebooks using the search function.
