Life without an access management system can be very complicated. We have been in the process of rationalising our serials collection and where possible have switched to online subscriptions. This has two advantages, it frees up more space in the library and it allows access to the journals off-campus. In theory at least anyway. We love EBSCO and we love their A to Z journals list, however it works best on campus. Full-text of some of our 76 online journal subscriptions may be available through one of our subscribed electronic resources, others are handled by EBSCO EJournals. This is where things get complicated: in addition to EBSCO Ejournals, the full-text should be available through publishers' websites, and indeed the A to Z journal list will direct you there. In order to get journals accessible through publisher websites, we have to register with them and set up access routes. Without an access management system in place, this will lead to a plethora of usernames and passwords. To simplify matters, we're making EBSCO Ejournals available off-campus, with yes, you guess it, a user name and password. Please contact library staff for details of how to login.
If you're keen, (and why shouldn't you be?) here's a list of the 76 journals available.
