Authorised users and access permissions
In addition to the conditions of use, each publisher's licence defines who may access their resource. These people are called 'authorised users'. Each group of authorised users has different access permissions.
Authorised users are:
- Current University of Sunderland students and staff
- Partner college staff
- Visiting professors & research fellows
- Emeritus professors
- Other users (including members of the University's Alumni Association, members of the SCONUL Access Scheme, ONCAMPUS Sunderland students, and retired staff)
Authorised users with accounts can access subscription resources using Library Search or by going directly to the resource and choosing the Academic/Institutional/Shibboleth option. There is no remote access to e-resources for user groups without a user ID.
Current University of Sunderland students and staff
May access all our subscription e-resources using their University user ID and password.
Partner college staff
To arrange the set-up of their user ID and password, partner college staff should contact their Faculty representative. They may access many subscription e-resources where publisher licenses allow.
Visiting professors & research fellows
Visiting professors and research fellows should contact HR to have their user ID set up. They may access a subset of subscription e-resources where publisher licenses allow.
Emeritus professors
Emeritus professors need to contact HR to have their user ID set up. They may access a subset of subscription e-resources where publisher licenses allow.
Other users (including members of the University's Alumni Association, members of the SCONUL Access Scheme, ONCAMPUS Sunderland students, and retired staff)
All guest types are eligible for 'walk-in' access to a range of licensed online resources whilst in our libraries, as defined by the publisher. Once you have registered with us as a guest, please speak with a member of staff if you would like access to these resources.
