Most ACE centre institutions registered for Research4Life Most universities are registered
Most ACE centre countries have free access (except Nigeria)
HOWEVER
Not all universities share credentials across faculties
Some ACE centres do not know they have access
Usage statistics could be higher
Librarians often gatekeepers: ask them! Or us!
It is OK to share the Research4Life credentials with colleagues, students, professors or other members of the institution (not outside your institution)<br>
