The National and Information System Authority (NALIS) wishes to inform the public of the temporary disruption in access to its OpenAthens, OverDrive E-Book service, including the Libby App, EBSCOhost and Flipster E-Magazines. 

NALIS apologises for the inconvenience caused as a result of this disruption in access to its online resources as well as patron empowerment services. The Authority is committed to restoring these services as soon as possible. Persons wishing to renew borrowed materials or put materials on hold must, in the interim, email nalis@nalis.gov.tt, call or visit their branches to do so. 

OpenAthens – one of the world’s leading library access management software facilitates secure access to EBSCO’s e-resources.

OverDrive – This e-book platform enables NALIS to enhance its online presence by allowing patrons to borrow and return books in the comfort of their own home. Materials are geared towards all patrons, from children to adults, and provides a level of inclusivity as there is ease of use by physically challenged persons.

EBSCOhost – This is a collection of databases geared towards the needs of researchers. These databases, including Caribbean Search, are very popular with students as the content has been developed specifically for this region.

Flipster – a digital magazine portal which enables greater access to popular magazines.
