- Details
- Last Updated on 07 November 2011
It has been agreed that members of the UWI Alumni Association who visit their respective Libraries can be logged on by library staff to machines giving them access to the several databases, e-journals and e-books services to which the libraries subscribe.Graduates are to show their UWIAA membership cards to gain access to the respective UWI library and then access library electronic resources and services.
- Alumni may access the library catalogue (OPAC) remotely and in library: Note: In order to access this remotely, the URLs for the three UWI Campus OPACs are:
- St. Augustine: http://www.mainlib.uwi.tt/
- Mona: http://alwebsrv.uwimona.edu.jm/F
- Cave Hill: http://mlalwebsrv.cavehill.uwi.edu/F
- ** Open campus does not have an OPAC
- Alumni may access all licensed online library databases – in library only
- Alumni may access all subscription-based electronic journals – in library only
- Alumni may access all licensed electronic books – in library only
- Alumni must use designated public workstations to access licensed resources and to browse the Internet generally – in library only
The four campuses (Open Campus is using St. Augustine databases), do not have a separate link to a list of ‘free’ databases. However, free databases can be found when you browse the list of databases. These are identified by the icon ‘free.’
Alumni should thus be able to find information and research resources on a wide variety of topics which they will find valuable.
The following URLs provide direct access to the OPACs from anywhere in the world:
- St. Augustine: http://www.mainlib.uwi.tt/
- Mona: http://www.mona.uwi.edu/library/index.html
- Cave Hill: http://cavehill.uwi.edu/mainlibrary/
- Open Campus: http://www.open.uwi.edu/academics/Academic_Library.php which has a link to:
- St. Augustine Campus databases – http://www.mainlib.uwi.tt/ersearchtools/onlinedatabaseupload/onlineindexes.htm
UWI alumni are also invited and encouraged to acquaint themselves with the websites of the four campus libraries.
