It depends on the resource and where you are. When inside the College you can use most of these resources without logging in although for some you have to click on Direct Access. If you are outside the College then you may be asked to log in. If so then click on the UK Federation link, choose Shrewsbury College from the drop-down list and then log in using your college username and password |
