Our E-Resources are available to all staff and students, and anyone with an active Queen Mary email address. You may be requested to enter your Queen Mary username and password.

General issues with your Queen Mary username and password (those that affect access to QMplus, email or WiFi), should be reported to the IT Helpdesk, by phone at 8888 or email (its-helpdesk@qmul.ac.uk).
