 1. Athens login

Use your University username and password (the one that you use to login to e-mail), but first you need to set the Athens Cookie on your computer. (Open Access computer suites in the AP Building and the Library already have the cookie set)

 2. Secure Web Access from Anywhere Service

Only use this method when directed to do so. Go to http://remote.surrey.ac.uk, and use your University username and password (the one that you use to login to e-mail). Then click on the "Library Resources not usually available off campus" page for a list. Please ensure that the Realm box displays Active Directory before clicking on the sign in button. 

 

 3. Individual passwords

A few online databases and electronic resources require individual passwords. These are listed on a secure page. To open it, you will need your University username and password (the one that you use to login to e-mail). 

 

 4. Resources not available off-campus

There are some online resources that can only be accessed from computers on the University of Surrey campus, due to software restrictions. These include:

  • Bloomberg (only available to School of Management staff and students from a terminal in the SoM building)
  • Datastream (only available to School of Management staff and students from a terminal in the SoM building)
