Staffordshire Public Libraries - Access to Academic Research

A searchable database of academic journals and research papers is now available from your local public library. The Access to Research website can be accessed from any public library computer, or via the public library wi-fi which is available at most public libraries. The pilot project runs until the end of December 2015 and makes 1.5million journal and research articles available. The free access is subject to strict rules around not copying or downloading the material and the articles are only to be used on the basis of remaining non-commercial and for private study.

Update - Library Digitised Documents & Keele Overseas Students

Keele has recently agreed to fund participation in a new CLA (Copyright Licensing Agency) pilot scheme allowing delivery of Library-produced digitised documents to students based at an overseas campus.

This month the CLA launched a one-year pilot for the optional inclusion of overseas campus-based students (OCBS) under the terms of the current Higher Education Licence.

Any academic staff wishing to deliver digitisations to overseas students should notify the Digitisation Service staff at library.scanning@keele.ac.uk

Separate web links for overseas students will need to be prepared, as those links made for UK-based modules are not interchangable between 'home' and 'overseas' modules through Blackboard.

Please note the pilot is for academic year 2014-15 only - inclusion of OCBS beyond this date will be determined by the CLA/UUK and other stakeholders next year.
