Remote Access to Online Resources: Off-campus access
Access to Online Resources
We can only provide access to online resources to current Staff and Students of the University of St Andrews.
We recommend you use links to online resources found from a link through Search, the A-Z Database List, or your Subject Guide to ensure you get a link which will allow you to login.
For some e-resources you'll be taken straight to the University Single Sign-on page (see step 4), for others:
Step 1: Look for a Login or Sign in option, such as:
- Institutional Login or Sign in via your institution
- Shibboleth
Step 2: You may be asked to select you location, select United Kingdom
Step 3: Select University of St Andrews either from a list or from a search box
Step 4: You'll be directed to the University of St Andrews Single Sign-on Page
Login with your University of St Andrews username and password
NB: enter your username without @st-andrews.ac.uk
Whilst most databases are listed on this guide, there may be a few not included. A full list of databases can be found on our A-Z database list
