E-Resources at the EUI: Where to begin?
Where to begin?
As a brief orientation to locating information on electronic resources from the Library’s website, I am going to highlight several areas you will want to familiarize yourself with as you begin your own exploration of resources which might be relevant to your research.
CATALOGUE
The primary starting point when searching for available materials in any library is the online Catalogue, which is linked to from both the left menu and the main body of the Library homepage. Here at the EUI, this is also the case. The EUI Library’s online catalogue contains bibliographic records for the print and electronic collections of the EUI Library as well as the EU Archive.
ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
This will take users to a page that is a good starting point for users to discover and easily link to many types of E-resources.
RESEARCH GUIDES
Just below Electronic Resources is RESEARCH GUIDES. There is also, in the main body of the homepage quick links to each of the Research Guide pages, which are prepared by the Subject Specialists.
Users will find references and links to electronic resources in the individual RESEARCH GUIDES. Here is where users will find disciplilne-specific guides to print, electronic and other formats of information which may be relevant to your research. *

E-Resources Tools: Find Articles
Journal articles are not to be found in library catalogues, the only way of locating articles on specific topics is by using Abstracting and Indexing databases.
Bibliographic databases contain citations for databases, while some have direct links to full-text, others require users to check the catalogue to see if the library has publication in print or electronic

22. E-Resources Tools: Google Scholar
28/03/2017
E-Resources Tools: Google Scholar
Required for off-campus access
Search engine for scholarly literature and references to peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts, articles
EUI-Google Scholar partnership enables links to full-text electronic articles when licensed by the EUI Library
Google Scholar – When no full-text match found, you should search EUI Library Catalogue for journal or book title
Individual Users must set preferences in Google Scholar for full-text linking to work
The EUI Library has established a partnership with Google that enables the EUI community to link to EUI-subscribed online materials from within Google Scholar by clicking on the EUI Library" textual link. Each user must set preferences on their own browser, as described below, in order to enable the linking to EUI Library resources.
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature and references across many disciplines and sources, including: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.
From search results within Google Scholar, first try to click on the article link to see if you can obtain the full article directly from the publisher's web site. If the EUI Library subscribes to the materials, you may be able to access them from on campus directly from the publisher.
Google Scholar does not know when the Library has a print subscription to a journal, nor can it match an incomplete citation (for example, if the date of publication is missing). For articles available electronically, search the Library's Electronic Journals List using the title of the journal in which the article appears. For printed books and journals, search the EUI Library Catalogue.

24. Accessing E-Resources

25. Accessing E-Resources: How to Access

Accessing E-Resources: How to Access
On-site access
IN THE LIBRARY There are over 30 computers in the Library, a mixture of internet-only computers as well as desk-top computers that are linked to the EUI network and the standard software. If you bring your own laptop into the Library, there are network cables in most working spaces in the Library, and it is also possible to connect to the EUI WIFI wireless network. More information is available on our website and from the Computing Service.
From Anywhere Elsewhere on EUI Campus…
Computer labs
Info Points
Offices
Wireless (EUI WiFi)
Off-Site Access:
VPN Remote Connection
Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a way to make a secure remote connection to our internal servers / resources from a non-EUI network or an Internet connection using a 3rd party provider.
This technology will permit connectivity to our Library's electronic resources as though you are within the internal EUI network. Please follow the instructions on the Computing Service web page.
Dial-up access

26. Accessing E-Resources: Off-Campus Access (example)
28/03/2017
Accessing E-Resources: Off-Campus Access (example)
Off-campus (remote) users are first asked to login with name and library barcode in order to be recognized as a valid EUI user.
Generally, EUI members can also access the Library's electronic resources from outside the EUI once authenticated by the EUI system.
For remote (off-site) access, EUI members can be authenticated as a valid EUI member by connecting through an Internet service provider combined with the Library's proxy server; connection to the EUI network via an VPN Remote Connection; or by Dial-in access. Each method is described below.
How do E-Resources providers and databases know that I am from the EUI?
IP address (automatic): On-Campus / EUI VPN
Proxy (library barcode): Off-campus via ADSL or other internet connection
A request for access to the Library's licensed electronic resources will call up a login screen where users have to provide their names and a valid EUI Library barcode.
After verification, access to a licensed electronic resource will be forwarded through the Library's Proxy Server and will then be accepted as valid by the remote database.
Any person who is not a current EUI member will be refused access, in accordance with the licensing restrictions governing access to electronic resources.
