Hi Kevin, I have just heard back from the team and there was an essential update which took place on Tues/Wed which is why you couldn't access Pure at that time, so you shouldn't have that issue again. Hayley
I will also pass your comments onto the OA team as well. Hayley
Glad you managed to access what you needed eventually! If you have any future issues with the Pure Portal, I would recommend you email the team who look after it and they can investigate further oa.lib@coventry.ac.uk. Hayley
Hi Kevin, thanks for getting in touch. The Pure Portal is working fine today, are you still getting an error? Hayley
