Databases and electronic resources

Senate House Libraries provide a great number of electronic resources to its members.

Use the list on the left to navigate your way through our resources.

For those resources marked offsite, you will be redirected to our catalogue login panel. Once there, if you are a University of London member, you will need to insert you library account credentials. You will then be able to access the resource.

Bookmarking Resources

Beside each resource you will see two icons. The first of these is delicious Delicious. Delicious is a bookmarking web service which allows you to access your web bookmarks from anywhere. You can tag these bookmarks in any way you see fit. So, for example, if you are writing a piece on Samuel Beckett, you can tag the resource, SB, SamBeckett and so on. This will help to structure what can sometimes be a very cumbersome task: that of organising the multitude of resources you come across on the web.

The second icon belongs to Google BookmarksGoogle. Google Bookmarks is a free online bookmark storage service, available to Google Account holders. Google Bookmarks allows you to bookmark favorite websites and add labels or tags, and also notes. If you do not have a Google account, you will need to create one.
