On 31st March 2022 the current database (HDAS) used to conduct literature searches will be switched off.
Once HDAS has closed access to bibliographic databases will be via the various providers’ websites. Please be aware that requests for literature searches will be delayed as we familiarise ourselves with the new interfaces so please allow extra time when making requests.
If you have undertaken any searches yourself and would like to be able to access these results after the end of March please have a look at the following webpage for further information:-
HDAS closure information – https://www.nice.org.uk/about/what-we-do/evidence-services/journals-and-databases/hdas-closure-information
Training material on the new platforms is currently being designed and will be made available soon.
If you have questions please contact the Library Team: academic.library@lscft.nhs.uk
Further updates on this change-over will be published here on the blog and on our Twitter feed.
