Access

Queen Mary Library e-resources are available to all staff and students. You may be prompted to enter your Queen Mary credentials to authenticate to our resources. More information on Multi-Factor Authentication can be found on ITS pages.

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