Resource Access Restrictions
Most online library resources allow use by professional services staff on the same basis as students and teaching staff.
A few technical resources limit use to teaching and student support purposes only. This particularly affects legal resources and standards. If you are planning to make use of specialist online resources for professional purposes that are not directly student related please contact e-resources@uws.ac.uk for guidance.
