Interruption of Access to 3 Active Full-text Peer Reviewed Journals

Due to circumstances beyond its control the Main Library regrets to inform you that EBSCO, one of our major database vendors, has lost Active Full text access to peer reviewed journals from these three publishers: Taylor & Francis, Bentham Science and Karger.  This loss of access is entirely beyond the Main Library’s control as aggregators such as EBSCO are the entities that provide access portals to electronic products. As a consequence of this loss, the Main Library is in the process of making the necessary adjustments to amend its list of current holdings available through EBSCO and the following databases: Academic Search Elite, Academic Search Premium and Academic Search Complete. 

Please be assured that we intend to rectify the problem in the shortest possible time. Kindly accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

The Richard B. Moore Collection is a unique library of books and other printed items collected over a period of sixty years by bibliophile Richard B. Moore, a Black Barbadian writer, educator and activist.  The Collection documents important aspects of the Black experience during the early twentieth century and before.
