Access to McGill Library e-resources to cease for all ineligible accounts as of February 16, 2015
As of Monday, February 16, 2015, access to McGill Library e-resources from off campus will end for all ineligible McGill affiliates. The Library's license agreements for electronic resources generally only cover off-campus access for current McGill students, faculty and staff.

Due to a technical issue, the removal of access to McGill Library e-resources for unauthorized accounts was delayed after the originally announced date in January.
