Research and explore

Electronic library resources can be accessed online 24/7 from wherever you are.

Access digital collections and extensive online resources such as databases, ejournals, ebooks, video content and more.

Tips and tools

Access electronic resources through the library website—you may be prompted to login with your Griffith username and password.

Do you start your research on the open web on a publisher's website, PubMed, Wikipedia or Google Scholar perhaps?

These tools will connect you to our content:

LibKey Nomad

Install the LibKey Nomad browser extension to automatically link to full text articles in the library collection. If you are off-campus, LibKey Nomad will recognise your Griffith credentials for fast access to scholarly articles.

Google Scholar

When using Google Scholar, configure your settings to show Full Text@Griffith links.

Library catalogue

If you find a resource on the web that you cannot access, search for its title in the library catalogue and follow the links to full text if available.

Why is off campus access different?

When on campus, you are recognised as being on the Griffith University network, allowing access to databases and publisher websites.

Off campus, you are not automatically recognised as being on the Griffith University network. We use technologies to allow you access and you should be automatically directed to the appropriate authentication method for that resource.

If you are experiencing issues, the troubleshooting tips below may help.
