If you are using a smart phone or other mobile device to access the library catalogue, you should use the mobile version of honni Encore.  This is specifically designed to display site content in a more readable format for mobile devices.

To access the mobile site go directly to http://encore.qub.ac.uk/iii/mobile_hs.  It works in exactly the same way as the full site except that, if you click on a honniconnect link, you will be asked to log in before you see what, if any, full text is available.  This is a minor bug in the system which the software suppliers are currently working to resolve.  However, but it does not adversely affect use of the site and, once logged in, you can continue to access resources in the normal way.

The problem with Ovid databases in QUB Student Computing Centres has now been resolved. Updated 11th November 2013

---

At the minute, you might find that Ovid databases such as MEDLINE and EMBASE aren’t accessible via Internet Explorer in the QUB Student Computing Centres. Clicking on the links to these databases in QCat Discover or in LibGuides might bring you to an ‘Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage’ error message.

The library is currently working with IT to fix this problem.

In the meantime, the Ovid databases are accessible in the Student Computing Centres via Chrome or Firefox (though in these browsers the databases may take approximately 60 seconds to load).

If you have any queries about the Ovid databases, please contact Richard Fallis, Subject Librarian for Medicine, Dentistry & Biomedical Sciences: r.fallis@qub.ac.uk

There have been problems printing a small number of Proquest articles. If you experience problems printing from Proquest, please begin your honni session again in Google Chrome browser, connect to Proquest again and when trying to print, use the ‘Print to Fit’ option on the blue menu bar displayed above the article.

Proquest are working to find a more satisfactory solution and in the meantime we apologise for the inconvenience .

On Wednesday 24th April 2013 the honni website will take on a new look to bring it into line with current honni branding.  Changes are mostly cosmetic, involving new colours and graphics, but there will be no significant alterations to structure or content.

The changes are expected to take place between 11am and noon.

This problem was resolved on 17th April 2013

Do you use RefWorks Write-N-Cite on Queen’s PCs as part of the Queen’s RefWorks Alumni Program?

Write-N-Cite is a great tool, allowing you to cite references in your RefWorks account directly in Microsoft Word documents.

We are in the process of installing the latest version of Write-N-Cite (WnC4) on all QUB PCs and laptops. Until this process is complete, the previous version (WnC3) might still appear on some machines in the SCCs etc.

For example, in the McClay Library, all Dell computers have WnC4, but Viglen computers have WnC3, which is likely to be the case until the Viglen machines are replaced in the summer.

Before using Write-N-Cite on a QUB PC or laptop, double-check which version of Write-N-Cite is installed, because once you start using one version, you cannot switch to another.

Ultimately, we recommend that you use WnC4, if possible, to place citations in documents and create formatted bibliographies.

If you can’t access a QUB PC with WnC4, you can always install WnC4 on your own personal computer/laptop (RefWorks > Tools > Write-N-Cite > download version for Microsoft or Mac, as appropriate).

 

How do I know which version of Write-N-Cite is installed on the PC/laptop I’m using?

 Follow these steps:

(1)  Open Microsoft Word

(2)  If a ‘RefWorks’ tab appears in the Word ribbon, then WnC4 is installed

(3) If there is no ‘RefWorks’ tab, click the ‘Add-Ins’ tab. If ‘RefWorks Write-N-Cite’ appears under Add-Ins, then Wnc3 is installed
