On Sunday 22 November, between 8:30am-3:30pm there will be a severe disruption to access to Library-based electronic resources.

Students off-campus will have no access to:

• ebooks
• eReserve items
• past exam papers
• online journal databases
• any electronic resources linked from the Library Web site, Blackboard, Sakai or Turing.

There will be limited access the Library catalogue and parts of eReserve from the University campus.

This is due to the work being done on the optical fibre network between Armidale and Tamworth and is beyond the University’s control.
