Mintel & Key Note Market Reports Change to EZproxy Login

Mintel and Key Note Market Reports have now also been switched from Athens login to EZproxy login. Users of Mintel will be pleased that this means they will no longer to need to click on the Athens login link once in the database to get full access. These databases are available from the Management Collections page.

From the Management Collections page, the Computing Collections page and the Public Health Collections page, you can check to see what login is required, by looking at the 'Password' information next to the database title. Over the next few weeks you will see most of the resources change from Athens authentication to EZproxy authentication.

Key Note Market Reports now available through Athens

Last week I posted news about Key Note Market Reports. At the time they were not available through Athens, but they are now. So to access them all you need to do is go to the Management collections page, login to Athens with your Managed Windows Service (MWS) username and password using the blue Library login box, close the box, and then select the 'Connect' link for Key Note Market Reports.

Key Note Market Reports provide access to over 1000 full text market reports and assessment spanning 30 industry sectors including consumer, financial, industrial, business-to-business and lifestyle titles. On average, 14 new or updated titles are added each month. You can search via an A-Z list, by market sector or by using the quick/advanced search options. Reports typically include the following sections: executive summary, market definition, market size, industry background, competitor analysis, SWOT analysis, buying behaviour, current issues, global market, forecasts, consumer confidence, and further sources.

Library Now Includes Key Note Market Reports

Key Note Market Reports are now available from the Online Library. They provide access to over 1000 full text market reports and assessment spanning 30 industry sectors including consumer, financial, industrial, business-to-business and lifestyle titles. On average, 14 new or updated titles are added each month. You can search via an A-Z list, by market sector or by using the quick/advanced search options. Reports typically include the following sections: executive summary, market definition, market size, industry background, competitor analysis, SWOT analysis, buying behaviour, current issues, global market, forecasts, consumer confidence, and further sources.

The reports are not available through the normal Athens/EZproxy login route. Instead, access is through either the Windows Terminal Service (WTS), the Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Dial-Up services. Details of these services are here. The easiest route is probably through the WTS. Key Note Market Reports are then available from the Management collections page. Please ask if you have any questions about access or any other issues.
