Good news: Scopus
Scopus is now available via the University of Hull Library (Hull Athens account required). A link will be available via the Library tab on the new HYMS VLE but in the meantime you can access the resource by going to http://library.hull.ac.uk/screens/erm_index.html. (Select Login > Athens Login from the Scopus screen.)
The subscription for Scopus is currently for one year only with a view to evaluating usage and feedback in the hope that the University will agree funding for a longer term so if you find Scopus useful please feedback to library@hyms.ac.uk.
The database covers a wide range of subject areas including scientific, technical, medical and social sciences literature.
