Use Google Chrome


We advise our users to use an up-to-date popular web browser to access our eresources – we’d suggest Google Chrome. Many of our publishers do not support older web browsers.

If you work on the NHS network your default web browser is usually an older version of Internet Explorer. We appreciate that this may need to be retained to access existing clinical systems but it can present some problems with some of the more recent resources that we have. We suggest that you ask to have Google Chrome installed and use this to access library resources.
