1.10.2 Making use of the Online Library
The Online Library contains a huge array of journal articles and other 
resources to help you read widely and extensively. 


Chapter 1: Information systems as a topic of study 
13
To access the majority of resources via the Online Library you will either 
need to use your University of London Student Portal login details, or you 
will be required to register and use an Athens login:

The easiest way to locate relevant content and journal articles in the 
Online Library is to use the 
Summon
search engine.
If you are having trouble finding an article listed in a reading list, try 
removing any punctuation from the title, such as single quotation marks, 
question marks and colons.
For further advice, please see the online help pages:

1.11 Access to computers
It is a requirement for this subject that students submit two practical 
computing assignments for the examination. Students must therefore have 
access to, and make use of, a variety of computing resources. The structure 
of the syllabus is built around the assumption that a student has good 
access to a modern microcomputer with a suite of standard software. In 
particular, a student will require access to the following:
• 
A laptop or desktop computer
: It is most probable that this 
will be either a PC running some version of Microsoft Windows, an 
Apple Macintosh or perhaps a computer running the Linux operating 
system. While these are the most common ‘standards’ in the world, it 
may be that you have access to other computers that will allow you to 
undertake the assignments. For example, you may have access to multi-
user or time-sharing systems that allow essentially the same facilities 
as a PC but accessed through online terminals. In theory at least you 
could complete the assignments on your smartphone – most have a 
spreadsheet of sorts, and simple database apps and modelling tools are 
available too – but we do not recommend it!
• Whatever type of computer you have access to and use, you will 
also need to have access to printing facilities in order to produce the 
required assignments on paper for assessment.
