Can I still access Library resources if I'm unable to complete my systematic review or other research project before graduating from or leaving Queen's?

If you are a QUB student embarking on a systematic review, or another research project with a substantial literature search component (e.g. a scoping review), you should aim to have all aspects of your review (especially database search re-runs for the purposes of capturing new results) completed well in advance of you leaving or graduating from the university.
Once you have left Queen's, you will not be able to access QUB Library resources to continue working on your review, and Subject Librarians will not be able to support you, unless your School is prepared to register you in some capacity e.g. as a Visiting Scholar.
Please note: the Library cannot register former students for continued resource access - this process must be initiated by a QUB School or Centre (or HR/People & Culture in the case of staff).
