Tips & Hints using eJournals

  1. All available NHS eJournals can be viewed via the NHS Evidence Journals page (Athens login required).
  2. This facility will show you the titles available, the holdings you can access, the location of the title, how to get access and a link to the title page.
  3. Whilst we endeavour to ensure all journals are accessible via Athens username and password some publishers do not provide this facility:
    1. Athens username & password - some providers require you to login in individually to their system even though you may have already logged in to Athens. Look for an 'Athens Login' link - this will be different for each provider but it is usually a small blue link near where the provider login link is located. The link you need is not always obvious and you many need to click their log in option to get to the Athens link.
    2. Journal username & password - additional username / password details may be required. This information is available on the title entry on the MyJournals list.
    3. Network access via IP address - access to full-text may be restricted to individual networks (the Health Library network and/or the UHNS network).
  4. Ebsco journals Question mark - help logo More help using ebsco journals

Users using this database for the first time will be prompted to register their Athens username and password. Question mark - help logo More help using Elsevier ScienceDirect
