Remember your PIN

Remember you from today you'll have to register for a PIN when logging on to the Databases or MyUJLINK ....

Now you need a PIN

From tomorrow there will be a third step into logging onto the databases. The first two being surname and staff number.

You may have noticed that between 06.00 and 18.00 tomorrow (07.02.08) the databases will not be available.

Students (and staff) wanting to access the databases will be prompted to create a PIN.

Students and staff who have forgotten their PIN number can contact the Circulation Desk who will then detail the PIN field and assist clients to create a new PIN. Those who want to change their PIN can do so via MyUJLINK.

The process is similar to that of changing passwords where one will be prompted first for the old PIN and then the creation of a new PIN.

The PIN is 6 characters long and is alpha-numerical.

In many cases, there are also ‘forward links' to citing articles and the service is compatible with a range of different Reference Management software, including RefWorks.

You can find Blackwell Synergy listed under B on the list of databases.
