• #7: Before you access any of the eResources you will need to authenticate.

It identifies that you are an NSU student and that you have access via the NSU subscription. Use your Sharklink Username & Password. Your Username is everything before the @ symbol in your NSU email address. For example my email address [email protected], so my username is jsarpy.
