UPDATED E-RESOURCES ACCESS GUIDE – 2026

Databases, Journals, eBooks and Mixed Resources

Purpose: This consolidated list brings together the 52 databases/resources identified in the updated MyLOFT list and provides subject coverage and a direct publisher/platform URL for use on the Library webpage.

Important access note: The URLs below are direct landing pages for the respective resources. Availability of subscribed/full-text content may still depend on MMU’s institutional subscription, IP authentication, publisher licensing, or other access controls. The direct links should therefore be tested from the MMU network before publication on the Library webpage.
