To use the DELSU e-Library, go to the Ultra-Modern Library at Site 3, Delta State University, Abraka, and start from the e-Library computers. The library lists what you can open on its own resource pages, and staff can give you the login details that some databases need.
What the DELSU e-Library is
The e-Library is part of the DELSU Library, and the library building is the Ultra-Modern Library at Site 3 in Abraka. The library keeps two lists of what you can open online: one for databases and research platforms, and one for e-books and open resources. Both sit on the official library pages linked in this guide.
The physical registration and the library rules are a separate job. If you have not done that yet, start with DELSU library registration and rules. This page stays on the online resources.
What you can access
The library sorts its online resources into databases and research platforms, and e-books and open resources. This table shows each group and the access label the library puts beside it.
| Resource group | Examples on the library's list | Library's access label |
|---|---|---|
| Databases that need a password | Research4Life platform (HINARI, OARE, AGORA, ARDI, GOALI, CINAHL, Dimensions, Informit), JSTOR | Login required |
| The e-Library only resource | eJournals Delivery Service (eJDS), for physics and mathematics | e-Library access only |
| Databases with no label beside them | MEDLINE (PubMed), National Science Digital Library, Paperity, WHO IRIS, WHO Virtual Health Library, Connected Papers, New England Journal of Medicine | No label on the page |
| E-books and open resources | JSTOR, EBSCOhost, ProQuest, AJOL, DOAJ, E-Granary Digital Library, BioMed Central, LISA, PLOS, ERIC, MSD Manual Online | No access label; list published on the e-books page |

Databases and research platforms
The databases page carries the services that open with a library login, such as the Research4Life platform and JSTOR. It also lists research tools that carry no access label, including MEDLINE (PubMed), the National Science Digital Library, Paperity, the WHO Institutional Repository for Information Sharing and the WHO Virtual Health Library. One entry, the eJournals Delivery Service, carries the e-Library access label and covers physics and mathematics.
E-books and open resources
The DELSU Library e-books page collects e-book collections and open resources, including JSTOR, EBSCOhost, ProQuest, AJOL, DOAJ, the E-Granary Digital Library, BioMed Central, LISA, PLOS, ERIC and the MSD Manual Online. The library also keeps the PDF versions of basic textbooks in the "E-Books" folder on the desktop of its e-Library computers, which is where you look for a set text.
Access types explained
The library labels some resources and leaves others without a label. Each case changes what you do next.
- Login required: the resource needs a password. The library's instruction is to contact the University Library to obtain the login details.
- e-Library access only: the resource opens at the e-Library. If it will not load somewhere else, this is the reason.
- No label on the page: open the link and follow the access rule that the resource itself shows.
How to use the e-Library
Work through these in order.
- Go to the Ultra-Modern Library at Site 3, Delta State University, Abraka. The e-Library computers are your starting point.
- Open the library's databases page and e-books page and pick the resource you need. Both lists sit on the official library site.
- If the resource is marked e-Library access only, open it from an e-Library computer. If the link will not load, check the address against the library's page, try once more, then ask the staff at the desk.
- If the resource is marked login required, ask the library staff for the login details before you settle in. The library gives out login details for the resources that need them.
- If you need the PDF of a basic textbook, open the "E-Books" folder on the desktop of the e-Library computer. You should see the folder on the screen. If it is not there, ask a member of staff.
