Library access for your readers

Once we approve your account as a library, everything it buys or subscribes to also opens for your members — students, staff or society members — from their own reader accounts. No seat limit.

Your library account is the Library Admin (My Account > Library Admin). From there you can:

• Add readers yourself, one by one, up to 100 typed lines at a time, or up to 500 from an Excel or CSV file (download our template; you see a check list before anything is added), with their department and role (teacher, research scholar, student, staff and others) — readers without an account get one, with a link to choose their password;
• decide how long access lasts for each reader (or for all at once), pause or remove access, and renew readers whose access ends soon (listed under Renewals due);
• send a reader a password reset link, and send messages to all readers, to one role, or to selected readers;
• open the Report tab for a use report of any period (30 days, 90 days, 12 months, financial year or your own dates), print it or save it as PDF, and download readers and the use log as CSV;
• see the library’s subscriptions and purchases, and our whole open-access collection (the page you see first after signing in);
• buy printed books, e-books and subscriptions with your delivery address, and print invoices billed to the Head of the Institute, with your institute’s invoice address and GSTIN;
• search and browse all our journals, books, articles and chapters inside the library pages, each marked Open access, Free or In your library, with Read full text and PDF;
• under Profile & logo, add your institute’s logo, the Principal / Director / Vice-Chancellor and the Librarian — shown at the top of the library pages for you and your readers;
• download your institute’s Certificate of Membership and your librarian’s Certificate of Appreciation (Profile & logo), each with a QR code anyone can scan to check it;
• recommend us to other librarians (Recommend): we email them in your library’s name how to register, and they can reply to you directly.

The bell in your account tells you about new readers, renewals due, and our new articles, chapters and books. Your readers see your messages, the date their access ends, and everything they can read through the library.

Our institute pages show a Library access box. Once your library is linked to your institute, scholars of the institute see it there with a Join button. Until then, signed-in scholars can use “Invite your librarian” to email you about it. We can also set up your library account for you — write to us.
