Your EHU eResources
As we find ourselves transitioning to a digital study environment Library and Learning Services are here to help you know what online resources are available for you.
Finding Your Online Resources
Journals
Our journal collections can be searched in Discover More and your online specialist subject databases – you will need to log in for off-campus access. We recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers for the most reliable experience.
You can view an A-Z list of resources we subscribe to on our A-Z Journals page and journals can also be browsed through our new subscription to Browzine.
eBooks
You can access eBooks by searching the Library Catalogue and Discover More. Most of the eBooks we currently have are now unlimited access (meaning no limits to numbers accessing at any one time), we are prioritising eBook purchases, looking at further electronic provision moving forward and have created a handy eBooks Guide to help you read online and download at your leisure.
Further Help & Support
If you are struggling to get hold of any resources, please use our You Want It, We Get It service and select the electronic option.
Many publishers around the world are also making additional content temporarily available to support teaching and learning where access to physical books and resources may be limited. Details of all these extra resources and how to access them can be found on the additional access to eResources webpage.
If you need any help searching, navigating or accessing your online resources you can book a virtual 1-2-1 appointment for support with Information Skills (Search Skills and Finding Resources).
