How to access the library e-resources

WAYF (Where Are You From) is the link between your University College login and the library resources, which would otherwise only be accessible from the University College Copenhagen network.

With WAYF you only have to log in at your own institution in order to get access to services such as e-journals, e-books, databases etc.

When you are outside the University College Copenhagen network and accessing an e-resource from the library website, you will automatically be taken to WAYF.
