Electronic Services
From April 5th the way in which we access the Library’s electronic
resources is changing.
We will no longer be using the Athens system. Instead you will log-in to our
resources using your Bath Spa username and password. This is known as single
sign-on and will be much simpler to remember and use.
All these services can be accessed from any networked computer on campus. Those not marked On campus access only can normally be used from any computer with Internet access as long as you have a Bath Spa username/password.
To access most of the full-text articles (or anything marked as a PDF document), you must have your browser configured to use Adobe Acrobat.
