Good morning

There is a national problem with OpenAthens, which will affect most universities. For us it is preventing access to online books, journals, Hubplus etc. You can check the current status page here OpenAthens Status.

It currently says

"Update - Our cloud provider is still experiencing issues and we are continuing to monitor. We will provide further updates as soon as we have more information.

Monitoring - We’re looking into an issue that's preventing OpenAthens users from accessing OpenAthens services
The issue started at 07:07 UK time"

I am afraid there is nothing we can do as a workaround. I will let you know when service is restored.

Many thanks,
