Students in St Angela's should now be able to login to most third party e-resources normally by accessing them via the  Library Catalogue  using your NUI, Galway Office 365 login details and not your St Angela's account details.  Information Solutions & Services  in NUI, Galway created brand new accounts for all St Angela's students due to the cyber attack for accessing NUI, Galway resources and this is the account that should be used.
