Using the library from home

Students and staff have access to the library's databases, e-journals and e-books off-campus by logging in with your KauID.

Improved access to e-resources

Many publishers and database providers currently offer improved or even free access to their resources. These may be resources related to Covid-19 research or resources that facilitate study or work off campus.
