Access to E-resources (Athens)

Library & Information Services no longer use Athens to access the vast majority of electronic resources, although certain categories of users, such as Associate Staff, will need to use Athens authentication for a period of time.

If you need to use Athens, you use your University ICT username and password to access resources. If they are Athens-authenticated, you just need to click on the link to Set an Athens Cookie first.

For more details, follow any of the links below.
