How do I access e-resources?
Answer
Electronic resources (e-resources) are licensed for use by Red Deer Polytechnic students, faculty, and staff, and can be accessed on or off campus.
E-resources include:
- e-books, which are usually accessed via a link
- electronic articles, which are usually accessed via PDF full-text
- streaming videos, which are usually accessed via a link
If you're not affiliated with Red Deer Polytechnic, you can access our e-resources in the Library, but not from off-campus.
Access e-resources on Campus
When you’re on campus, access is simple and seamless – just click the link for the e-resource, right from the Library catalogue or database. The e-resource will open in your browser.
For e-books, look for the "View eBook" link.
For electronic articles, the link may be called "View full text," "PDF File," or "Online File."
For streaming videos, look for the "View now" button.
Access e-resources off-campus
Use your RDP email address and password to access Library e-resources off-campus.
