Ebsco A-Z

Attention all Keele Students! Currently there is a problem with accessing journals through the Ebsco A-Z list. We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. All journals should still be accessible by logging into MyAthens ( http:// auth.athensams.net/my/ ) and checking under the journal provider. Most University journal subscriptions will be located under Science Direct and Blackwell Synergy . Please contact the library if you have any queries or problems.
