Electronic Resources Trials

Aberystwyth University libraries request free site trials of resources in response to enquiries by staff and students. We also request trials of new resources that we think may be of interest and use in teaching, learning or research at Aberystwyth University.

Trial access is available on campus. Off-campus access is sometimes available via VPN.

Please email librarians@aber.ac.uk after visiting any of the resource trials, describing briefly how the resource would be of use to you in teaching, learning or research.

Current and Recent Trials

Please also let us know if you have found a resource for which you would like us to arrange a site trial, or if you have any other enquiries about these trials.

Although many of the resources we trial are too expensive to consider subscribing to in the first instance

• you might like to try these resources even if it is only for a limited time
• publishers may offer more viable pricing models in the future e.g. a single purchase price rather than a recurrent commitment
• we can gather evidence of interest in a resource to support a case for purchase, particularly where interest is found to be inter-disciplinary.
