Business & Management Electronic Resources

There is an extensive range of electronic information sources available to staff and students of the Ulster University Business School.

These are mainly password protected using an OpenAthens authentication system from a number of different routes.

You should access the services from the 'Library' option of the University Portal, or from Blackboard Learn (Library Services) or directly from the Library Homepage using your network password.

To search for a specific journal title, please use the Library's Electronic Journals service.

For a full list of available databases, go to the Library's Databases page.
