Using the Athens login

The Off campus access page allows you to log in to Athens. However, if you access a resource that you do not find through the library catalogue or eJournal finder, you may not be logged into the resource. The best course of action at this point is to check the library catalogue as this will give you information of which issues of the journal (if any) are available electronically and through which suppliers.

However, if you wish to try to log in via a journal's Athens login page, you will need to do the following:

1.  Click on the Athens login link.

2.  The Athens authentication point will appear.  Do not enter your username and password, instead click on "Alternative login".

Athens Login box

3.  In Alternative login you will see a list of organisations. Either:

Use the quick search box to search for York St. John

OR

Scroll down and click on Universities, to open up the list

4.  Select York St John University.

Selecting YSJ from Athens organisation list.

5.  You will be taken to the York St John login page.  Enter your university username and password as prompted.

If once logged in, you are still unable to view material, please check the library catalogue for further information.  If you encounter any difficulties, please contact the library by email (libraryqueries@yorksj.ac.uk), telephone (01904 876700) or in person.
