Athens
The majority of eJournals subscribed to by the University of Salford can be accessed off campus using your Athens username and password. Athens is a system that identifies you as a member of a particular organisation, as part of your university computing account you are automatically given an Athens username and password. You can find out more about Athens by clicking here.
If you are a member of another organisation, for example another university, or the NHS you may also be given an Athens username and password to access their resources.
Your Athens details are case sensitive so make sure you enter your username in lower case and your password in upper case.
Proxy Authentication
Some eJournals require you to set up a proxy authentication. You can read more about this in another post.
Individual Passwords
A few eJournals have their own individual logins in order to access the full text of articles from off campus. ILS has produced a web page that allows you to check for the appropriate password for a journal. You can access this page at http://www.ils.salford.ac.uk/library/resources/epasswords/ however you must be on campus to view this information. If you need help accessing details of passwords from off campus contact your Information Specialist (you can find our contact details in the "About Us" page - there is a link at the top of the screen.)
Some Health & Social Care journals that require their own password are:
Infant
Journal of Occupational Science
Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy
Mental Health Today
Mental Health Nursing
Neonatal Network
Sport and the Law Journal
You can also find information on passwords for eJournals on the Salford e-Library News blog at http://salfordelibnews.blogspot.com/search/label/passwords
