The Library has negotiated access to the following resources for Locally Employed Tutors, i.e. tutors of OU students who are not themselves employed by the OU. The resources include abstracts and indexes, full-text journals, electronic books, images and statistics. Access is via the relevant link in the A-Z list below.
You are reminded that photocopying of print material and printing and downloading of online material is limited by Copyright restrictions. In particular, due to licence restrictions by the suppliers, these resources can only be used for private study and not for any commercial purpose, such as research for books. You will be asked to ‘sign’ a copyright declaration form on access to each database.
Help on specific access problems is available by email from the Library Helpdesk via the get help link, and we would greatly value your feedback on these pages and the resources available.
