How to login

Two students studying a laptop screenOn-campus access: If you are on campus, the links on this page will take you straight to each database. There is no need to login: if you see a login page, try refreshing the window.

Off-campus access: To access these databases off-campus, you will need to use Proxy access by using the links in your own library's database list. You can still use this page to browse the AM Explorer collections that are available at your institution but you will then need to find them in your own library system to use them off-campus.

If your own System Settings have the 'Use Proxy' option set to yes then the link assets in AM's LibGuides will automatically have your proxy prefix added to the URL, allowing for seamless off-campus access.

Help with Springshare

If your institution uses Springshare for LibGuides and Database Lists you'll find support through the Help Center: this includes guidance on setting up your proxy URL in your system settings, and information on copying guides into your own Springshare instance.
