Difficulties accessing SwetsWise online journals off-campus


We are aware that there is an issue with off-campus access to some online journals via the SwetsWise service. We are working on resolving this, but for now you should be able to use the following work-around:

When clicking on the link in the online catalogue, you might be taken to a page with a web address looking like this:

http://www.swetswise.com/eAccess/viewTitleIssues.do?titleID=71902

This URL will be accessible from on-campus, but will need to be modified for off-campus, so it looks like:

http://www.swetswise.com.ezproxy.yorksj.ac.uk/eAccess/viewTitleIssues.do?titleID=71902

You will be taken to a log-in screen, and should then be connected to the SwetsWise site via our EZProxy server (which will make it look like you are on site). However, you may be directed to a login page. If so, simply click "IP Authentication" in the top-right, and you should be taken to your journal:


Please contact libraryqueries@yorksj.ac.uk if you continue to have problems.
