Athens registration process has changed

The registration process for Athens has changed slightly. You still need to complete an online form with your personal and professional details on the National Library for Health, but you can now do this from any computer and you may give either a work or personal email address. The email address that you give will be used to communicate with you about your Athens account, including a validation email which you need to complete the registration process, so think about where it will be most useful to receive this information.
  • Complete the online form on the National Library for Health (click Register here)
  • Once you have clicked Submit your username will appear on the screen
  • Access the email account you provided and click on the validation link contained within the email you will have received from EduServ
  • Choose and enter a password of your choice
  • Confirm your understanding of EduServ's terms and conditions
You will now be taken to the Athens website where you can amend your personal details and view and access all the resources which your username and password entitle you to.

There have also been changes to the look of the National Library for Health (NLH) homepage and enhancements to how you access personalised information.

When you log on to Athens via the NLH your name will be permanently displayed at the top right hand of the screen. If you click on the link My Account you are able to amend your personal details (organisation, email address or Athens password). You can also view any saved searches or alerts from the bibliographic databases (Medline, CINAHL etc) and access other alerts and RSS feeds you have saved via My Library.
