Access and authentication

The majority of ejournals, like many other electronic resources are subscribed to and managed by Librarians on behalf of members of the University. As such, users must authenticate their status as University members in order to access them. In most cases, users accessing resources from a Campus based computer will not require authentication, although some will require login with a Raven userid and password.

Access from home will vary depending on the resource. Where possible, access information is displayed in the ejournals@cambridge service menu. Access requirements by vendor for off and on campus are listed this page
