Having difficulty accessing a database from home for the first time? Please remember to carry out one or more of the following points.
Make sure your search history is set to clear every 24 hours as this list interferes with the access link ability to function.
Most of the databases are linked via a Shibboleth institutional log in using the college's full name . Either under St Francis or Saint Francis......Look for either of these options at log in. You will then be asked to OK one /more then one form(s) before obtaining access . When a 'Identity Provider' page opens, chose the student option to be taken to the college log in . Please enter your college username( first half of email) and password
Some databases require you to enter a institutional log (and not College log in details) such as Media Magazine and Complete Issues. Please check the full entry for the database you want to open as in those examples the alternative log in details are listed
If none of these options have worked please email library@sfx.ac.ukfor help (Available college hours 8.30 till 4.30 Monday to Friday)
