How to Access E-Resources

>> Off-Campus Access to E-Resources

Bournemouth University subscribes to a wide range of e-resources; the information provided might include

  • Bibliographic information, giving reference to journal articles, conference proceedings, book chapters and newspapers;
  • Data (e.g. company financial information);
  • Full text documents.

Electronic books
Approximately 90,000 e-books are available. Most can be found by searching the Library Catalogue.

Electronic journals
Access to a wide range of full text electronic journals or e-journals is available. Links may be to individual titles or packages of titles, grouped by subject or publisher. Many titles are also available in paper format in the University Libraries. Check the Library Catalogue for details of print holdings.

Electronic newspapers
A selection of newspapers are available in full text with the option to search across a number of newspapers simultaneously. In addition, links to a range of newspaper web sites are available.

Usernames and passwords
When on campus, you will not require a username and password for most e-resources. Access off-campus is controlled by username and password. This facilitates usage analysis, minimises unauthorised access and ensures compliance with licence agreements. A password sheet is available via the Library tab on myBU.
