Using iCity to improve access to Athens-protected services

Your Athens login is exactly same as your BCU network id (see http://library.bcu.ac.uk/athenscookie.htm) that you use to access Moodle or your student email.

 A good way to start is to go to iCity http://icity.bcu.ac.uk/, logon with your student id first, and find the Electronic Resources link. This is below the Library widget box as labelled below:

(If you can’t find the Library box or have deleted it, look for https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Tools, select Library under ‘Which Widgets would you like to see on your homepage?’ then click Apply)

This Electronic Resources link will then take you through to the AtoZ of Electronic Resources list, and if it is your first time here you may have to ‘Click to continue’ a page just to say you are a member of Birmingham City University. You will also find other Electronic resources pages on http://library.bcu.ac.uk such as the AtoZ of Full Text Journals and Electronic resources by subject.

If you are still having problems please check that you are logging on correctly as per http://library.bcu.ac.uk/athenscookie.htm then email us back at athens@bcu.ac.uk with the name of the resource and the error message you are seeing.
