SALUS and web browsers. - 19-Aug-2008
The SALUS site has been designed to work best with the Dept of Health standard web browser, Internet Explorer. It will work with Firefox, but has NOT been tested against other web browsers.
There have been some problems reported by Firefox users relating to accessing the full-text of journal articles via the A-Z list from the SALUS site. These problems relate not only to compatibilitiy issues with the SALUS site, but also to problems between Firefox and Adobe Acrobat Reader.
For fuller information, please see the Firefox Help page: Opening PDF files within Firefox

A-Z journals list time-out - 7-May-2008
If you use your library’s A-Z list to access online journals, be aware that the A-Z list times out after about 15 minutes. This means that if you start reading journals and forget the time, you’d be prompted for a logon by the A-Z page when you try to go back to it. What to do? Just close the browser window and click on the link to your A-Z journals page from the SALUS screen to start a new session.

Frequently asked questions - 10-Apr-2008
eg. Why can't I get into the AtoZ journals list? Why do I get a "you are not authorised to access this page" error message? read more...
