How do I benefit from Athens?
With Athens you are just a mouse-click away from an impressive range of online journals. You have access to current journals which cover everything from management to medicine.
The ability to access resources from remote locations using your Athens account puts you at an advantage when information resources are scarce. Athens is available 24 hours a day all year round, giving you access to information that could help your research programme or course assignment.

What are the technical requirements for using Athens?
Technical requirements for using Athens are very minimal. As a user, knowledge of use of the Internet is the minimum requirement. The other requirement is a computer with internet access and browsing software.
