Using university e-library: Athens log in

When using university e-library to access academic publishers' resources, you sometimes are required to perform a few more steps to log into these publishers' website. This is required even though you have already keyed in your unversity student ID and password. This mainly indicates that the single sign-on function of the university e-library does not work smoothly. I provide the following exhibits to indicate how it is done:

After you have done the steps to log in via Athens, you should be able to access the academic publisher's journal resources. Pls note that different publishers have different website interface, thus the steps to follow differ somewhat. Sometimes, you need to perform the steps again due to the time-out security function of the website.
