Cataloguing, navigation, discovery, delivery and access: Researcher’s needs

What we have and how to access it

Major research content via SciVerse Science Direct, EBSCOhost, Wiley Online Library, IEEEXplore/IET Library, SwetsWise, Springer Link, Web of Knowledge, RSC Journals PLUS Archive & more

Alerts, saved searches features

EndNote Web for managing references

Resources accessed via the Library & IT tab in the university portal

E-books

MyiLibrary – over 5,900 titles

Dawsonera - search, rent and preview over 130,000 titles

Cambridge Books Online - 981 titles in 3 collections

Google Scholar linking

If you are logged into the portal and using Google search or Google Scholar you will find that the underlying shared technology enables Google to recognise that you are from the University of Greenwich and link to full text content subscribed to or paid for by the library. This depends on compatibility with specific databases, e-resources and publishers
