Access to e-resources

• To access Warwick Library e-resources follow the links from the Library website, Library Search or the Library catalogue.
• These links will usually take you straight to Microsoft's Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) login where you will need to enter your Warwick email address (in the format username@live.warwick.ac.uk) and password, and then approve your login via an app or a code. More information about this is available from the IDG web pagesLink opens in a new window.
• You should then be taken straight to the e-resource you selected with access to Warwick subscribed content.
• Access will usually be the same whether you are on or off-campus.

Additional information

If you have accessed a subscribed e-resource without using the Library links you can often still log in. Many e-resources have an educational login option. However, you might need to look carefully for these as they are often not the most prominent login on the site.

Warwick authentication uses a federated login via the UK Federation or the OpenAthens Federation: This normally requires you to identify yourself by selecting your country and then your institution from lists. If you are logging in from a supplier site without following Library links please search for Warwick in the UK Federation first and then the OpenAthens Federation (if both option display). Once you have selected Warwick you will be taken to the Microsoft MFA login and then (once you log in) back to the e-resource as a Warwick customer if we subscribe. If you have already logged in during that session you won’t see the MFA pop-up.
Note: Federated authentication is called different things by different suppliers. You might see it referred to as Shibboleth login, Institutional login, Login via your home institution / organisation / UK Federation / OpenAthens, Academic sign-in

Note: Warwick does not subscribe to all available online resources. If you are unable to log in using this option please check Library Search or the Library catalogue to see whether it is an e-resource we have access to. If it is a journal please check what years we subscribe to.
