Username/password
correct but still
having problems
Your York St John username
and password are correct but
you still can’t access the
electronic books and journals.
Did you go via our webpages?
Yes and I still can’t get
to the full text of a
particular electronic
book or journal.
You might have made a
mistake with your search.
Watch our online search
demonstrations about
ebooks and ejournals
There is a technical error
linking to the resource
via YSJ. Please let us
know at ils@yorksj.ac.uk
and we will investigate.
No – I used another site eg:
Google scholar, publisher’s
website etc. Your YSJ
username and password
only gives you access to
resources we have paid for
via the YSJ website
We haven’t got access
to the resource via York
St John. Please tell us if
the item is on a reading
list.
York St John might
provide access to the
journal you want via a
different publisher from
the one you have
searched. Always check
on our webpages.
