Anywhere, anytime library services
We provide a range of services to make working from home easy. With access to extensive online resources, advice on teaching tools and research data management and publishing we are here to support your teaching.
Online resources
Library resources can be accessed online 24/7 from wherever you are. We use various technologies on these platforms so that you are not locked out behind a paywall when you are off-campus.
Using these access points is the easiest way to access subscribed resources off-campus:
Reading lists
Provide your students with easy 24/7 online access to required and recommended readings.
Library catalogue
Search the catalogue for journal articles, databases, ebooks, video content and more.
Find a library database
Get direct access to your favourite database off-campus by searching for its title in the library catalogue. You can also browse our alphabetical list.
Can't find it in the Griffith collection?
You can request articles and book chapters from other libraries. If you submit a book request, we may be able to get an electronic copy. It is not currently possible to obtain physical items from other libraries.
You will be prompted to login with your Griffith snumber and password when accessing them. You can then do anything you do on-campus.
Online tools
Do you start your research on the open web...on a publisher's website, PubMed, Wikipedia or Google Scholar perhaps?
If you start your search outside of the library catalogue and databases, these tools will make it easier to access our subscribed resources.
LibKey Nomad
If you use the Chrome Browser you can install the LibKey Nomad browser extension to link you to full text.
Google Scholar
You can set-up Google Scholar to access full text articles available via Griffith Library.
BrowZine
BrowZine allows you to access the full text of articles and view the Table of Contents (for supported publishers) in a consistent interface. You can also look up and browse journals by subject area, download articles and export references to citation managers. BrowZine is available as a mobile app and web interface.
When you research from home or off-campus, these tools automatically show you Griffith content and connect you to articles in our collection.
Alternatively, if you do find a resource on the web you want access to, search for its title in the library catalogue and follow the links to fulltext.
