Q. How do I apply for temporary access to NUS Libraries E-Resources for NUS visiting professors or scholars?

Access to the subscribed electronic resources is granted to NUS visiting professors and scholars hosted by a NUS Department on a case by case basis due to licensing agreements.  Applications for access must be submitted by department staff hosting the visiting professors or scholars.

1. Department staff must first obtain a department visitor's account from NUS IT (previously Computer Centre) for the visitor. The account must bear the prefix of the department, for e.g XXXVYY, where XXX is the department code (e.g ARI, ELE, MED) and YY is usually numbers. (e.g ARIV123, ELEV123 and MEDV123)
2. Prepare official supporting documents for the visitors’ appointment including their start and end dates.
3. Go to the Online External Membership Application (OEMA).
4. Login with your NUSNET ID and Password (Use Chrome/Firefox browser)

5. Fill in the form with required details. 

NUS Libraries will email the status of the application within 3 workdays. For successful applications, instructions will be forwarded to the visitors via email. The following instructions will be included in the email.

1. Accept the Appropriate Use Policy AUP via email "Subject: [Action Required] Accept the Appropriate Use Policy (AUP) for access to E-Resources."
