Yes, you can still access the eLibrary this weekend!

This weekend, March 2nd and 3rd, IT Services are performing essential maintenance on the student computer network. All student computer accounts will be unavailable over the weekend.You may be wondering how you will access the rich digital library at the Newsam Library and Archives. Follow the steps outlined below on how to access the electronic resources so that you are able to read the eBooks and find journal articles from the databases:

 

1.  If you are reading on Friday 1st March:

• Click on this link http://libguides.ioe.ac.uk/specialresourcesdetails to collect a temporary username and password. (You will need to login using your usual IOE network login details to access this page off campus).
• Make a note of the temporary username and password that you will be able to use over the weekend.
• Go to step 3.

2.  If you are reading this page on Saturday 2nd March during Library Enquiry Desk hours:

• Phone, email or SMS the Library Enquiry Desk and ask for the temporary computer account.  You will need to show that you are an IOE student by providing:

3.  Start searching as usual:

• eBooks – Library Catalogue
• eJournals – eJournal Search
