Electronic resources

The Library has a large and constantly growing collection of online resources such as databases, e-journals, e-books, and so on. These e-resources are all available through the University of Adelaide Library Catalogue.

E-journals can also be located using the Library Journals A-Z.

Who may access e-resources?

Because of licensing conditions, access on-campus is only available to currently-enrolled students and staff of the University of Adelaide.

University of Adelaide Alumni may also register for access to e-resources. See Services to Alumni for details.

For members of the public, public access PCs in the Barr Smith Library and branch libraries allow unauthenticated access to most of our licensed e-resources. Remote access to e-resources from outside the University network for members of the public is not possible.

Remote access to e-resources

Current University of Adelaide students and staff are able to access e-resources from outside the University network using their University username (eg a1234567) and password. For registered contract users (PIRSA/SARDI and SA mental health staff), the Library barcode and last name must be used.
