Information security is important to us all at Greenwich. We are sharing key points to consider when studying online and how to access resources through our existing services with our staff and students.
Sharing your login details with sites which host stolen intellectual property leaves you vulnerable to having your login credentials stolen. Providing your university email and password to a 3rd party leaves the university at risk of a cyber-attack. To avoid this, follow the guidance below.
Keep your password to yourself
- You must never share your university username and password with anyone, and you must not use your university password on other websites or apps.
- If you suspect that someone knows your password, or you have previously used it on other sites, please change it immediately.
- Sites which host stolen intellectual property ask for your username and password for a reason; so they can use it or resell it to a cyber-criminal. This puts our systems, and your studies, at risk.
- Keep your university email and login details for university systems access only. Even if the site is legitimate, don't use your university email address, user ID or password on social media, personal cloud services or online stores.
- And remember; never share any of your passwords with others.
Accessing papers, articles and texts
Our campus libraries should always be your first port of call for physical and online resources. Please do not use sites that bypass copyright or licence access restrictions, and never pay any publisher or provider directly for access to materials. If in doubt, you can always check with your academic subject librarian for advice.
- Library Search is the tool to discover books, full text journal articles, conference papers and proceedings, reports, eBooks and some audio-visual content.
- Document Delivery is a service enabling you to access books and articles not held within our university libraries. If you are unable to find the item you require, please complete the Document Delivery Request form via the link in LibrarySearch.
If you can't find the resources you're looking for, you can check in with our academic subject librarians, who can help you with database searches, finding information and literature reviews, they are experts in finding resources for your subject.
Essay, Assignment and Exam Support
Our Academic Support team continue to support you with academic skills workshops and tutorials covering a wide range of topics. As we approach the exam and assessment period, we are focusing on these skills and providing extra assistance.
If you’re looking for Essay Feedback, our Academic Support Team, Studiosity service and our Royal Literary Fellows can review your assignments and help you improve it before you submit.
