Access to electronic resources off-campus: important changes from 1 August

The University completed the transition from ATHENS access to locally authenticated access via Shibboleth on the 1st August. Users will no longer be able to access a resource via the ATHENS alternative login route.

The recommended access route for electronic resources is via eresources@cambridge or, in the case of ejournals, ejournals@cambridge, which include the correct links.

Users off-campus should log in using the links provided by publishers on their web sites marked "Institutional login", "Log in via your home institution" or "Shibboleth".

Further information on this change and contact details for enquiries can be found at http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/electronicresources/shibboleth.php
