How to Access resources via the Electronic Library

To discover what ebooks and ejournals we have in our collection use MetSearch.  For seamless access to resources don't forget to 'Sign in' to MetSearch (see top right hand corner). 

Not everything is surfaced using MetSearch, for example statistics and legal information, so please look at our Database A to Z directory to see a complete list of all the resources that Library Services pays for.  It is possible to filter the directory by subject and material type.
