Copious notes explained • Granularity/relationship notes • Restrictions on access, licence requirements • Passwords required, sources of information • Examples: • 300 tag - Part of: ScienceDirect • 310/11 tag - Restrictions on access: Requires IP recognition or ATHENS authentication • 309 tag - Local restrictions on access: Login & password required, details from Issue desk • But are notes enough?
