If you are on a Trust computer you can access the site from Web Based Systems or from http://www.rmmonline.co.uk which should automatically log you in to the resource, but some Trust computers may require you to use your OpenAthens account. For users on non-Trust machines sign in with your OpenAthens account from the same link.
If you experience any problems with accessing the resource, please contact the library.
We have a growing collection of e-books available - to search for these go to the Library Catalogue (see Links panel)
- use the Advanced Search option to filter for Material Type: Electronic books + Location: Isle of Wight (no title needed).
or search a title from Oliveira Discovery (see left hand panel)
The e-Learning for Health hub houses many modules created specifically for the NHS. IOW NHS staff can now register using OpenAthens credentials. The registration process again requires you to log in with OpenAthens and then create an e-LfH user account. It can be slightly puzzling to locate the modules you need, but the modules themselves seem straightforward and practical. There are instruction pages on the website, but if really stuck do ask in the library for help.
