Accessing databases

In order to access databases off campus, you will need to follow this process:

  • Go to the Library homepage
  • Click on the Article databases link
  • Enter your University username and password (the same ones as for email and Moodle), if prompted
  • You should be taken to a list of databases - click on the one you require
  • If presented with another log on page, do not enter any more passwords - click on the 'Athens' log in link and you should be taken straight through to the resource

It is very important that each of these steps is followed, as you will not be recognised as a York St John user if any are skipped.

If you encounter any difficulties, please contact the library by email (libraryqueries@yorksj.ac.uk), telephone (01904 876700) or in person.
