Password security when using e-journals or e-books


Please ensure that you do not use your Aberystwyth University (email) login and password on the websites of e-journals, e-books and other AU electronic resources. You should only use these on a website or dialogue box that is in the .aber.ac.uk domain e.g. shibboleth.aber.ac.uk. Instructions for accessing e-journals etc off-campus are given in the ‘Authentication’ note in E-journals @ Aber or via the ‘i’ button in eLibrary.

Please access these via Voyager or the ElecInfo gateway. For further help, email ejournals@aber.ac.uk



Take care when you use your Aberystwyth University username or email address on the web

If using your Aberystwyth University username or email address on a web page that does not have an aber.ac.uk address, you must use a different password.

If you don’t your computer account will lock to help protect you from

- phishing attempts – what is phishing?
- use of your username and password by others

If your computer account does lock, or if you have any questions, please contact Advisory.
