Having a problem accessing our books and journals?

When you have discovered a book, chapter, journal or journal article the publisher or provider need to know that you are eligible to access it. If using Library Search, or from campus the link provided contains the appropriate authentication and will allow you to read straight away or ask you to login using your IT account credentials. 

If you have discovered a book, chapter, journal or journal article through a search engine you will be asked to authenticate through a login process, or you may see an access denied message. In order to make this easier you can use the LibKey browser extension to access our books and journals, or locate open access material.
