De Montfort University E-Resources

APU library provides the access to our subscribed e-resources for all APU staff and students. But, if you are a student enrolled in an APU-DMU dual award program or an academic staff with a registered profile with DMU, you can also access a range of DMU Library’s e-resources and services via Partner Students International portal.

Accessing DMU Library's E-Resources

Access to the resources requires a Single Sign-On Username and Password. These details will be emailed to your official student / staff email by either DMU’s Registration Team (if you are a student) or IT Service Desk (if you are a staff). Ensure that you have checked your email (including your Junk/Spam folder) for the login credentials. These details allow you to login to the databases on this page. Some databases won’t require a login and there are free databases and repositories exist to find e-books and e-journals. See the Free Online Resources page tab for more information.


Ensure that you are already logged out from your APU’s Office 365 account (i.e.: TP012322@mail.apu.edu.my) in your browser before accessing DMU Library’s E-Resources. Otherwise (sometimes) the browser will by default pick APU’s official email ID (if you are actively logged on) as the DMU’s username , and trigger an error message to notify that you don’t have an access.
