This section has been created to give specific support for those studying and teaching on one of our computing courses. For more general guidance on library services for partner and collaborative services see: http://libguides.gre.ac.uk/eresources/offcampus
We have about 90 databases. To ensure only University subscribers have access to these resources, we use Shibboleth and OpenAthens authentication, as an added layer of security. Therefore you will usually be asked for your User ID and password via the portal and / or identify your institution i.e. University of Greenwich. See the following page for the guide and more help. https://libguides.gre.ac.uk/eresources/authentication
This directory contains a list of the most useful databases for journal articles, ebooks and datasets. Most of the subject specific databases provide full text access,whilst the publishers collection are a mixture as we have not bought the full service. .

* EBSCO Host Research Databases. Whilst IEEE and ACM look at software and hardware issues, there is so much more to computing than this. Computers are used by everyone and many people write about them and their uses in specialist journals for their profession. Therefore I recommend you use this database. When it opens select all. When you run a search look at Subject: thesaurus terms on the left menu and it will show all the keywords linked to the documents, it could be useful for identifying other words you may not have considered.
