All IHS eresource recently moved to new platform. This means that it is now necessary to register for a free account in order to sign into any of the following information resources:

  • Construction Information Service (CIS)
  • Engineering Workbench
  • Knowledge Workspace (platform which incorporates Occupational Health and Safety Information Service (OHSIS) and Specify-It)
  • Info4education (subscription which incorporates Construction Information Service (CIS), Occupational Health and Safety Information Service (OHSIS) and Specify-It)

We hope to reinstate institutional login as soon as possible. In the meantime, you will need to register for a free account for the resources. 

Registering for an account

When you reach the login screen for the resource: 

  1. Click on the green "Create a New Account" link.
  2. Enter your University email address.
  3. Copy and paste the activation code you receive by email into the IHS website.
  4. Create a password.

You should then be able to log in as normal using your personal password.

Switching between resources

While you only have to register once to access both resources, it may be necessary to use the "switch resources" option in the top-right corner of the screen once you log in to change between the Construction Information Service and Engineering Workbench resources.  

If you have any difficulties, please don't hesitate to ask a librarian for assistance.
