Off-Campus Access to Library Databases

Our guide to off-campus access to the library's databases, electronic journals and e-books is available on the  Aungier Street library website.

As you'll see from the guide, when accessing databases, electronic journals and e-books from outside DIT's network you will be prompted to authenticate in one of two ways:

1. If you see a BLUE login screen, log in with your staff/student number and your DIT email password (initially your date of birth in ddmmyyyy format).

2. If you see a WHITE login screen, log in with your staff/student number and Library PIN. You create your Library PIN for yourself. 

 
There is a "Forgot your PIN" link if you already have a Library PIN but have forgotten it. 

Any questions, please contact the library at 01-402-3068 or ast.library@dit.ie or @DitAungierStLib

Staff Access from Home to Databases, E-Journals and E-Books

Staff who have recently received new "smart" ID cards will know that these cards are also their Library Cards for entering, borrowing, using self service and photocopying services in the Library. One change that has come about as a result of these new cards is that, to access library e-resources from outside of DIT, staff must now enter their staff number as their username. You can use the same PIN that you have always used. Please contact the Library at 3068 if you have any problems with the new system.
