USING ATHENS FOR WARBURG INSTITUTE STUDENTS
Athens is now available on a selection of Senate House Library's electronic resources, including JSTOR, for SAS students only. Log in using your university log in and password, instead of your library card.
However, it is important to note that not all electronic resources are available via the Athens log on method. Even if you can see an article or an ebook title, it does not mean it will be available. The best way to access our collections is to search for book and journal titles through the library catalogue first, and follow the links.
We have a number of desktop computers at the library for accessing the catalogues and electronic resources.
Staff can access all electronic resources on our AZ page through desktop computers in their workspaces, as well as access through SAS and Warburg Library cards at home.
We are currently trialling access directly over wifi, through the UOL Libraries wifi network. This will allow access to a selection of electronic resources by connecting to this network.
To access them, first make sure that you are logged onto the wifi network UOL Libraries.

Warburg Institute staff, fellows and students can connect to any Warburg electronic resources or Senate House Library resources that are available for offsite access by using the barcodes on your SAS or Warburg library cards.
The best way to access these is via the Warburg Databases and E-resources page, the Senate House Library e-resources page, or by searching for the resource by title on the catalogue.
Using a search engine such as Google will not show our subscriptions even if you can find the website - you need to go through the catalogue or databases list.
The URL should look like this: https://0-[url of the resource].catalogue.libraries.london.ac.uk
To proceed from the catalogue, click on the offsite access link to go to the authentication screen. When prompted, enter your name along with your SAS or Warburg Library card barcodes as in the image below.
Warburg Library readers can access JSTOR and Patrologia Latina/Acta Sanctorum using the same instructions with their Warburg Library cards.
Our electronic resources can be discovered in a number of ways
The title of the resource is indexed on the library catalogue in the same way as a book is. Choose 'title' as your search criteria. Anything electronic marked as 'PC access', which means it will be fully available through library catalogue PCs.
Through the Electronic Resources A-Z list, which can be browsed according to publisher, type of resource and subject.
Through JISC Library Hub. Using 'advanced search', choose document format: 'Electronic resources' and Institution: 'Warburg Institute' and enter a keyword in the fields above for the resource you are looking for (such as subject: bibliographies publisher: Brepols) JISC Library Hub denotes electronic resources with a computer monitor symbol. It will show additional library holdings elsewhere.

You will still need to go to the library catalogue to verify that we have a subscription to a resource, as not everything is available automatically via Athens, and many of the Warburg's electronic resources are only available through the usual catalogue and library card log in described in this guide.
Unfortunately, Athens is not available for staff or any other users of the library.
