UPDATE: Searching for articles in a-z.lu is working again. We are still waiting for solving the issue with Nature publications.
No access to Nature journals
As you may know, all findit.lu users have access to nearly all Nature publications: http://www.nature.com.proxy.bnl.lu/siteindex/index.html
Accidentally, our access to was cut off. Due to technical problems we don’t have access to full texts from Nature journals at the moment. Everything is prepared for our access to be reactivated, but it may take until next week (8 or 9 march) until access will work correctly again.
Finding articles in a-z.lu
Due to another technical problem, searching for articles is currently not possible in a-z.lu. Please use findit.lu or Google Scholar instead to find articles.
Check our guide to see how to enable the findit.lu button in Google Scholar: Enable your browser to show “Findit.lu-button” in external databases
We will keep you up to date and apologize for any inconvenience.
If you experience any further technical problems, please send us an email to help@findit.lu.
Technical updates for a-z.lu are continuing today, 23rd February, so there might be further access problems during the day.
Access to electronic resources via findit.lu is possible without problems!
Due to system updates a-z.lu won’t be available tonight, Wednesday, 22nd February between 19.00 and 20.00 h.
A system backup from 12th February will be deployed, so if you did any changes on your personal settings on a-z.lu during the last 10 days, these might be removed and you will have to update it once again.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Consortium Luxembourg is happy to announce that access to EuroCases is now open. 
EuroCases is a unique multilingual web-based legal informational service providing access to case law of the leading jurisdictions in Europe related to the application of European Union law. It is maintained and continuously updated by the leading Bulgarian legal information provider Apis (www.apis.bg). EuroCases builds upon the achievements of the affiliated company Apis Hristovich Ltd. within the EUCases project (http://eucases.eu) supported by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme for research and innovation of the European Union.
The main advantage of the service lies in its cross-border nature – in cases where provisions of EU law should be applied, users can draw inspiration and ideas by using relevant case law of other jurisdictions, which is not offered by their national service providers.
National and European case law is covering the following 19 thematic areas of EU law:
In addition, the subscription comes with Link Detector, a free software tool that checks for legal citations to EU legislation and case law and establishes links to EuroCases online database.
Link Detector is an extension (add-on) to the browsers Internet Explorer®, Google Chrome® and Mozilla Firefox®, and an add-in to the word processor Microsoft Word®. Its primary mission is to assist legal professionals working with EU law. To this end, Link Detector identifies legal citations to EU legislation and to judgments of the EU Court of Justice in the web page opened by the user (respectively, in the document edited by the user) and establishes links to the cited EU acts and/or provisions thereof published in the EuroCases online database.
Local access inside the library buildings is offered to EuroCases for all users with a valid library card from either National Library or University.
Access via a-z.lu: http://a-z.lu/BIBNET:All_content:BNL_MLBNL03960
Springer Nature is delighted to announce that it has rolled out its free content sharing initiative, SharedIt, across its entire owned portfolio of over 1,300 journals and an additional 1,000+ co-owned and partner-owned journals. This allows researchers and authors to easily and legally share links to free-to-read versions of research articles anywhere, including social media platforms, repositories and personal websites.
How do I use it?
On the webpage of every article you’ll see a ‘Share’ or ‘ Share article’ option. If you click on this, for every article you have subscription access to , you’ll be provided with a SharedIt link, which you can copy and provide to other interested parties or post anywhere, including via social networks such as Twitter or on scholarly collaborative networks such as ResearchGate or Academia.edu, for non – commercial, personal purposes.
Are there any limits to how much can be shared?
Reasonable sharing is encouraged for non – commercial, personal use.
What is the benefit of using SharedIt?
SharedIt allows you to share research articles you or your institution have subscribed to in a legitimate way, facilitating discussions and collaborations with other researchers who may not have a subscription. SharedIt links will take readers to the most up to date, online version of the article. SharedIt also allows us to better understand how research is being used, as usage can be tracked, unlike when a PDF is downloaded and shared. Springer Nature is committed to making information about usage available on a regular basis.
A summary of the results of the first 12 – month trial of the content sharing initiative can be found here .

Version française:
Important : A partir du 10 Janvier l’accès aux ressources électroniques sous licencie sera uniquement possible via le serveur proxy.
Cela signifie que les adresses IP locales de l’Université, LIST et LIH ne donneront plus d’accès direct aux ressources numériques.
Pourquoi ? Cette mise à jour des accès améliorera la collecte de statistiques d’usage.
Pour continuer à utiliser vos bases de données sans interruption, nous vous proposons deux solutions :
Exemples :
L’accès au site Nature devient http://www.nature.com.proxy.bnl.lu/ au lieu de http://www.nature.com/
L’accès à un journal particulier du site Springer devient http://link.springer.com.proxy.bnl.lu/journal/10958 au lieu de http://link.springer.com/journal/10958
Exemple :
Pour accéder à la base de données Wiley, veuillez utiliser le lien « Obtenir en ligne ».
Pour modifier votre bookmark, cliquez sur le Permalien dans l’onglet « Détails » .
Si vous avez des questions ou des problèmes de connexion, n’hésitez pas de nous envoyer un mail à help@findit.lu.
Merci pour votre compréhension.
English version
Important: From 10th January on, access to licensed electronic resources will be only possible via the proxy server.
This means that you will not have access anymore to those digital resources through the local IP addresses of the University, LIST and LIH.
Why? We had to update the registered IP addresses for each database for improving the collection of usage statistics of the electronic resources licensed by the Consortium.
To continue using your databases without interruption or to update your bookmarks, we propose two simple actions:
Examples:
The access to the Nature platform please use http://www.nature.com.proxy.bnl.lu/ instead of http://www.nature.com/.
To access to a specific journal from SpringerLink please use http://link.springer.com.proxy.bnl.lu/journal/10958 instead of http://link.springer.com/journal/10958.
Example:
To access the Wiley Online library, click on “Get this online” in the result.
To modify your bookmark, click on the “Details”, then “Permalink” and copy/paste the link to your bookmarks.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have connection problems or additional questions at help@findit.lu
Thank for your understanding.
