Accessing Digital Library Services

Many of the Library collections we provide to you are digital services (e.g full text databases, e-book collections, research portals, and ejournal collections). You can access these directly using links on the Library website or via search services such as Summon and the Library Catalogue.

On campus these services will (with one ebook exception, EBL) open for you directly and without the need to ‘login’. Off campus you will be asked to ‘login’ to the services using your login and password combination – these are the samhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gife as those you use for other online University services such as the myndportal and Blackboard.

If you are unable to access these services you need to immediately report this to IT Services. You can find further contact details for IT Services here.

In order to make effective use of the Library services you must be able to login to these digital services. If you need assistance using these services please contact the Library.
