Many of our online information resources are now available on a mobile website and/or as mobile apps.
The table below lists online resource providers who currently provide mobile interfaces. More are becoming available all the time so if the database you want is not here, check the publisher website as well in case there has been a recent release.
To ensure that you get access, particularly to full text and off campus, follow the guidelines for setting up applications. Typically you need to create a personal account for the resource using the desktop interface, and then embed your personal account details into the settings of the application.
