UCL Library Help

If you are unable to access a database or research tool:

• First, check if UCL has access by searching the Databases A-Z
• In addition all databases are indexed in Explore (the library catalogue)
• Visit this page to access a guide to searching Explore and managing your UCL library account

Some databases have specific log in instructions. These can usually be found by searching the resource within the Databases A-Z.

For most databases (without specific log in instructions):

• On-site users will be recognised as a UCL user and will be able to access the database without logging in
• Off-site users, accessing from a computer outside the UCL network, will be prompted automatically to log in via the UCL Single sign-on using their UCL username and password
• Some resources are freely available and these do not require login
