To login to electronic resources you need your campus ID and password, and login on the same screen as you do for the Portal and Canvas.

You will need to select the Shibboleth login option (may also be labelled as 'Institutional login' or 'UK Federation'), select 'University of Hull (Shibboleth)' from the list of institutions and log in as directed. 

Most resources can be accessed on campus without a username and password.  If you are accessing resources off-campus you will usually be required to log in using either your University User ID and password or a generic password.  Please see the Library catalogue for details of how individual e-resources provide access.

Accessing e-resources using Shibboleth

When accessing a resource using Shibboleth, look out for one of the following links:

  • Shibboleth
  • Institutional login or library login
  • UK Access Management Federation

Variants on these may be used across different e-resources.

You will be asked to select your institution from a dropdown menu.  Select ‘University of Hull (Shibboleth)’.  You will then be re-directed to the University of Hull Central Authentication Service screen, the same one that is used for access to the Portal, Canvas etc.

Enter your University User  ID and password and you will then be re-directed back to the resource and be logged in for use.

Please always remember to logout from e-resources when you have stopped using them.

Once logged into one service/resource using the University of Hull Central Authentication Service, you should not need to enter your University User ID and password again when accessing other Shibboleth resources within the same web session.

If you have any problems you can use our Live Chat service from the library homepage.
