The Library subscribes to a number of major subject databases which can be accessed free of charge on campus from terminals in the Library or on the University network via the Library's networked databases page. To comply with agreements made with database suppliers, users must register and be given a password. The day's editions of the Times, Guardian, Independent, Herald, Scotsman, International Herald Tribune and the current issue of the European are available on Level 3. Recent editions of these papers together with the last 3 months of the Christian Science Monitor and back issues of Le Monde are also housed there. Most of these are networked and can be accessed on public terminals throughout the Library.
