To access an e-book or e-journal, you normally select the item, which then takes you to the provider’s website. Each provider has its own website so they all look and work differently. In many cases, because the library pays for access to electronic resources, you may be directed to a login box where you have to type in your student identification number and password. This might be referred to as ‘Shibboleth’, ‘Institutional login’ or a similar term.

Glossary

copyright If someone has copyright on a piece of writing or music, it is illegal to reproduce or perform it without their permission.

Individual e-journal articles can be read online, downloaded onto a memory stick or printed. E-books are subject to copyright regulations, which means that you can only download or print one chapter or section, or five per cent of the total number of pages. If you are not sure how much of an item you can copy, check with your librarian or look for relevant notices – these are usually displayed near photocopiers. You can, however, read as much of the book online as you wish. Many e-books providers also allow you to make notes and highlight text, which you can save and view when you next access the book.
