Education: Introduction

How can I access library resources now the library is closed? 

In our efforts to control the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19), all face-to-face library support activities will cease until further notice. 

Get in touch with me:

Email: ssg@aber.ac.uk

Phone: 01970 62 1870

(for enquiries or to arrange an MS Teams Meeting)

or

Book an Appointment (Skype only)

Use the Schedule Appointment link under my photo in the Contact Information box below to find available dates and times

or visit https://libcal.aber.ac.uk/appointments/sarah

Select date and time slot in the usual way.

If you find that the resource you want is not available electronically please place a request through:

• Our More Books (for students only)

• Our Purchase Request service (for staff only)

We will do our best to source an electronic copy for you.

Our extensive collections of electronic journals, databases and e-books remain available to you 24/7 on and off-campus.

If you wish to gain access to e-resources off-campus, you do not need to install VPN; these can be accessed using the browser based Primo VPN.

You will need to:

1. Sign in to https://primo-vpn.aber.ac.uk with your Aberystwyth University (AU) username and password. You must keep the browser open while you work. 
2. Sign in to https://primo.aber.ac.uk with your AU username and password - you will be prompted to do this after connecting to Primo VPN

You will then have off-campus access to the majority of AU-subscribed electronic information resources and their full text. If you close your browser you will need to login again.
