Clear your browser cache and cookies

Existing cookies on your computer can become corrupted or cause conflict with other cookies. Clearing them out can often resolve the problem. Read this guide on how to clear your cache and cookies.

Try a different access route

If you googled the resource or clicked on a link from Moodle, try going direct to the library website or via your virtual University desktop when off campus.

You can access most online Library resources with your University username and password.

When you follow links to online resources from the Library website, you will often see the University Sign in page. You'll need to sign in more often when you are working off campus.

Some online journals, ebooks and databases on the Library website require a different username and password. If you need a different login, you will see a link to the login details and instructions.

Monday 2nd October 2023 - VLeBooks is currently experiencing a nationwide outage. Their technical team are working to restore the service.  In the meantime access to their ebooks may be intermittent.

If you encounter any other errors or issues accessing an online resource, please report the problem.
