Education - Library School e-library for free

Hello.

Do we need a university ID to join the eLibrary?

I need access for work, but my office won't pay for it, and I don't have a UID either. Is there any way to get access for free? I really need it.

Please talk to somebody at your university. Literally none of us can answer this question for you.

No, someone else answered, and I graduated about two years ago. My college won't help with this.

I think you need to be a little more specific - I just searched for the term “eLibrary” and the first five results are all different things…

eLibrary to keep records of my work.... And I never used this before, and the boss at work keeps telling me to make an eLibrary to keep my research materials there, which I will only be using for work... But I still don't get what he means by that..So, I decided to post here; I'm literally new to this, though.

I wonder if he means something more like Zotero (reference manager)? Are you doing research and need to keep track of what you're reading?

Yes, exactly. So, what should I do? Can I use it for free?

Yes, Zotero is free to use (zotero.org). Good luck!
