As you may know from experience there are many errors that can occur. Both to do with

the machine you are using and of course linking errors do occur with the different

online resources we have access to. 

So, if you see any of the below screens .......

.... 1. You need to look for ‘Institutional login’

….2. You may need to select your institution from a list or search as below ....

Your institution may appear automatically

You may need to search for it

Or you can scroll down and find Middlesex University in the list

This screen may appear within the database itself depending what resource you are using ...

Just do the same:either search or select ‘Middlesex University’

3. Which will take you to this screen (you may also have seen this straight away without having to select your institution).

Make sure the box is ticked to allow Athens to install cookies on your computer and remember you

And click the link which will take you to ....

4. Middlesex University Login

Login with your regular UniHub / computer login

This may look like a lot of steps

but it should ONLY TAKE A

FEW SECONDS

REMEMBER!

You need to allow your browser to accept cookies so it can

remember you and you only need to authenticate yourself

once (some extra security software like noscript or

adblockers may need adjusting)

BUT remember – we don’t have access to everything! If you are not sure whether you are having a problem with access or if we just don’t subscribe to a journal then open the library catalogue and do a journal search.....

and the catalogue will show you whether we have it or not, AND which years we have access to
