Having problems accessing Scopus off-campus...?

**UPDATE**
This problem has now been fixed. If you go via the LibGuides link to Scopus you will be taken to the correct login page where you should only need to log in once.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you see the screen below when you attempt to log in to Scopus from off-campus, you can still access the site by:

• Clicking on Athens and Shibboleth (Institutional) user please login here
• Select UK Access Management Federation from the list
• Select Aston University OpenAthens from the list
• Login with your Aston University network username and password

We're looking into fixing the access problem and returning to a seamless login process as quickly as possible.
If you have any queries regarding this post, please leave a comment below or email us at library@aston.ac.uk.

Please remember to bring your uniCARD to swipe in to the Library. Thank you Library Team

Removal of printed journals from the Library

The printed journals have been removed from the Library in readiness for the refurbishment of the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Library this summer. 

Some titles have gone into storage and won't be available until October, but most titles have been taken over to the Library Store and are available for loan on request. 

Check the Journal A-Z list for details of each title. 

If you need access to an article from a title in storage, please use our Inter-Library Loans service. Titles in the Library Store can be requested by following the link in each journal record to the on-line request form.
