Science Direct

You can access Science Direct via the Find Database section of e-Library or directly via http://www.sciencedirect.com/. You may find you have problems getting to the full text of journal articles in Science Direct if you are accessing from off campus – you need to make sure you have logged in with Athens to the site before you will be able to access full text content. Follow the instructions below to log in with your Athens details.


From the home page, click the “Athens/Institutional Login” link in the top right hand corner.

On the next screen:

Click the ‘Athens login’ link. You are then taken to a screen that asks for your Athens login details – remember they are case-sensitive so enter the username (sal…) in lower case and your password in upper case.






You can now start searching and should see green icons next to content you have access to through Salford University.

You can search in the grey Quick Search bar at the top of the homepage, or for more options click the Search button. You can search by keywords, or find a journal and search or browse within that.
