Changes to off-campus access to DIT databases

From July 2012, some DIT databases will be accessible from outside DIT buildings by the same DIT username and password used to log into DIT computers (and email) while most others will still be accessed by Student number and library PIN number (obtainable at library desk). A few databases, as well as past exam papers, will need other passwords.

Here is a list of the databases most frequently used in Cathal Brugha St, with their mode of access:
