Eresources

 

Libraries & Collections provides access to a wide range of eresources for its students and staff, many of these databases and ejournals are available off-campus.

When accessing eresources we recommend that you use our links to ejournals, databases and ebooks which make it easier if you have to log in. Find out more about how to access eresources

If you are a NHS staff member you will need an NHS OpenAthens username and password to access NHS eresources. NHS Staff are now able to request journal articles where you would normally need a King's College London PC in one of our libraries.

Library Guides provide information about finding the resources for your subject.

Additional eresources now available during Covid-19 to support online teaching and research

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many publishers and library suppliers have provided temporary access to some of their eresources to further facilitate online teaching and research. This Libraries & Collections COVID-19 libguide lists all additional resources currently enabled and will be updated as more become available.
