Our services

Our services are available free at the point of use for students and academic staff in the UK working on and off campus. Access to most services involves licence or subscription by universities and colleges, and requires some form of authentication by end users. We also provide some services to researchers beyond the UK academic sector.

Feedback

We always value feedback from academic support staff in the universities and colleges that we serve, as well as from users of our services, in order that we can improve what we do. Interaction with other service and content providers is also welcome.
