Using your Birmingham City University Network username and password to access electronic resources.
Athens is the name of the password system that we use to give access to electronic resources. Click here to simplify access to Athens-protected resources. In order to logon to these resources, you will need a Birmingham City University Network username and password, which you enter as follows:
Email us athens@bcu.ac.uk if you think you have a problem, or use Electronic services Troubleshooting Form to tell us if you have other problems accessing Electronic Resources.
If you are a registered member of the University and are still using an older version of Athens with 'uce+ your library number', this will not work using this method. Either contact your faculty IT office for a Birmingham City University Network username and password, or when you connect to the resource you need to select the text 'I want to login with an alternative account (if they are in use at my organisation)'.
