MUSE Library tab and access to electronic resources

You may have noticed a few changes to the Library tab in MUSE. We've made these changes to streamline access to electronic resources within the context of our evolving resource discovery offer and the forthcoming implementation of a new version of MUSE. All Library content including electronic, digital and print can now be accessed from a single point: StarPlus, our new next generation library catalogue and resource discovery layer.

Instead of having to click on separate links for ejournals, ebooks and databases, you now only need click on the link to StarPlus to search for everything. Use 'University Collections' to search for electronic and print books, journals, theses, White Rose Research Online (WRRO) content, databases and maps. Use 'Articles and more' for simultaneous searches of multiple databases (e.g. Web of Knowledge and Scopus). Searches can also be limited to predefined subject specific Quick Sets. Results will be a mix of open access and subscribed content.

To get the most out of StarPlus, please log in using your University username and password. This will give you authenticated access to subscribed electronic and digital content together with access to additional features such as a personalised e-shelf, saved searches and alerts.

Further information about electronic resources is still available on the Library web pages.
