Accessing resources

The library subscribes to a number of resources that will help you with your learning and revision. The Liaison Team is currently developing its series of 'How to' videos, which will help you to navigate your way around the resources and introduce you to their key features.

Check out the resources and videos below.

If you would like to see a video for a particular resource, please email the Liaison Team.

Offsite access

Note: If you're accessing online resources offsite, you will be asked for a username and password. Use the SGUL username and password that you use to access the University computers.

The log in page can look different depending on the supplier of the article, but will usually refer to an 'institutional login'. You will normally need to select your location (e.g. UK Access Management Federation) and then select your 'institution'. Remember to look for 'St George's, University of London'.

This might also be referred to as a 'Shibboleth' login - again, just use your SGUL username and password when prompted.
