Logging in to eresources
Students and staff have access to thousands of electronic resources including journal articles, electronic books, reports, conference proceedings, reviews, datasets, maps and audio visual material across a wide range of academic disciplines to support learning, teaching and research in the University.
Find out more on our LibGuides page.
Note that some resources require you to additionally register a name, email and password as an individual user, the first time you use the resource as a member of the University. This separate registration allows you to use personalised features such as saved searches and creating search alerts, journals alerts and more.
New: BFI InView
We now subscribe to a new resource called BFI InView. It enables you to search over 2,000 non-fiction film and television titles from the 20th Century to the early 21st. The material is organised under six main themes, each with an introductory essay by an academic historian. The resource is beneficial to anyone studying or researching these subject areas:
- Education
- UK Industry and Economy
- Health
- Law and Order
- Environment and Immigration
- Race and Equality
Access is via the Online databases and academic journals link in the Search the Library portlet in the My Learning / Learning support page.
Welcome
Welcome to the start of your course if you are studying with us for the first time. If you are a returning student welcome back for another year. Over the coming weeks I will be posting about services and facilities available to you in the libraries.
