To access the Library subscribed databases, you can locate and access the databases from the Library webpage and OneSearch. You are required to login with your PolyU NetID and password to authenticate as an eligible PolyU user.​

If you are accessing e-resources via the publisher’s website, you can make use of one of these browser plug-ins to access the full-text directly, e.g. Library Bookmarklet, EndNote Click, LibKey and Unpaywall.​

For details on the installation of browser plug-ins and different types of virtual private network (VPN) services provided by the Information Technology Services Office, please refer to the library guide here.
