Editor's Notes
- How to log-in to get to Library resources… If you have already enrolled and got a MDX log in then do this if not we will log in for you using a temporary log in Account ID TLRC-0393 Account password Marvel33 But you will see a different log in screen
- This is the screen you will see if you are using the temporary log in
- These are the things that might be useful: Library Search: Use to search for information (books, journals etc) on your topic. MySubject: Gives you access to our library subject guides. Use these to find what resources are available including websites on a particular subject. Databases: Gives you access to specialist collections of journals and other resources in a particular subject area. You can access most of these through Summon, but searching a specialist resource might save you time. We can advise you on this.
- Always use MyUniHub – MyStudy - MyLibrary
- Where you will find access to key library resources eg Library Search, Library guides, databases and e-journals Also a useful link to Referencing and Interlibrary loans
- What library resources can you use to find research material? Library Search is the Middlesex University catalogue/database Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine which indexes the full text of scholarly literature MDX has a wide range of general and specialised databases available to students

- SCONUL Access is a reciprocal scheme which allows many university library users to borrow or use books and journals at other libraries which belong to the scheme. The scheme covers most of the university libraries in the UK and Ireland Middlesex University now provides an eduroam wireless service—this is a free wireless service that allows students and visitors access to the internet when visiting a participating organisation. Eduroam - is an international internet roaming service for users in research, higher education and further education. It provides researchers, teachers, and students easy and secure network access when visiting an institution other than their own. If you want access to the internet when visiting another organisation, you will need to connect to their eduroam network with your Middlesex University credentials. You only need to do this once—you will then connect automatically whenever you visit any participating eduroam organisation. Access is freely available to Senate House Library for Members of the British Psychological Society. If you have joined the BPS all you need to do is telephone their Records Office and they will provide you with an official letter to take to Senate House Library
