If you are off campus (or on campus but not using the university network or Eduroam) you may need to log in to eBooks and online articles - some links will take you directly to the article or eBook without logging in, some will ask you to log in via the normal University of Dundee login page. and others may use a different login system.
If you are having difficulty accessing the full text, look for one of the below. These may be behind a "login" or a "sign in" link, which is often in the top right of the webpage:
These login options will appear on websites even when the University of Dundee does not subscribe to the book/journal. If you have logged in but still cannot access the item, the university might not have a subscription to this resource. If this happens, you can check Library Search to see if we should have access, or email the library for help.
Installing the LibKey Nomad browser extension will simplify access to articles and eBooks on many sites, reducing the number of times you are asked to log in.
If there is an article or book that you want to read, which we do not have at the University of Dundee, you can request it via InterLibrary Loan and we will try to get you a copy from another library.
If you request a book through InterLibrary Loan it will arrive as a paper book, which you will need to collect from the library. (Some InterLibrary Loan books can be taken home, others can only be used in the library building.) Journal articles are usually supplied as scans - we will email you a link to download the article.
You can find more information about InterLibrary Loan, including details of how to apply, on our InterLibrary Loan webpage.
