ScienceDirect – off-campus access issues

We are currently experiencing problems with off-campus access to ScienceDirect e-books and journals.

This problem has been reported to the publisher and we are hoping this will be resolved asap.

On campus access is working as normal so if you log onto the LJMU network from home via our Off-campus applications service then you should be able to access the e-book or journal article that you want via this route until the problem has been resolved.

Details on how to access the Off-campus Applications Service can be found at: https://www2.ljmu.ac.uk/ITHelp/software/118551.htm

Once logged into the LJMU network log onto Discover via the LJMU desktop internet link and search as normal or go direct to Science Direct via the Databases A-Z option on the Electronic Library:https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/microsites/library/resources/electronic-library

Athens problems – alternative access to electronic resources

We are having on going issues with Athens but you will be able to access a majority of LJMU electronic resources if you first log in to Off Campus Applications and then go to Discover or to Databases A-Z if you wish to search a particular database. This way you can access many of our resources without having to first log in to Athens.

Apologies for the inconvenience while Athens is unavailable.

These 30 journals are available on and off-campus (by logging in via OpenAthens with your LJMU username and password) and fully integrated and searchable via Discover. Why don’t you discover the most comprehensive civil engineering resource available.
