Hello and welcome to the library subject support page for Business.

If we have not seen you during one of our library workshops, we hope instead that you will find many of the resources here useful.
In particular, we would like to draw your attention to the Business Library Resources Guide which is available to download at the bottom of the page. It will help explain how to use library resources so you can find information for your assignment - and get ahead! The Student Guide to Information Services handbook may also be of interest.

Alternatively, we are happy to see students for a one to one either at Stoke or Stafford. To make an appointment (typically lasting between 30 minutes and 1 hour) please contact us using the respective email address above.

Good luck with your studies!

Usernames and passwords

Most online resources use your University Username and Password to authorise access. On campus you will be recognised automatically when you logon to a PC. You should only be asked to login when you are off campus. To do this you will need the details of your student Username and Password:

*Username = First part of your University email address i.e. 2 letters & 6 numbers
*Password = your date of birth as 6 digits i.e. ddmmyy (unless you have changed this)

Note: When using some online resources, you may be asked to enter the details of your University ATHENS account - this is the same username and password as your University logon details above.
