Current members of academic staff and postgraduate research students can log in using their University username and password at pure.soton.ac.uk.
Firstly, you need to make sure you are connected to the University network, either by being on-campus or connecting to the network via the Southampton Virtual Environment or by using the VPN.
If you are connected to the University network please ensure you are typing your University user name in lower case when logging into Pure, as this field is case-sensitive.
If you still cannot log into Pure please get in touch with Pure support at pure@soton.ac.uk or raise a ticket with Service Line

Each Faculty has appointed one or more Pure superusers who can provide advice. Contact addresses for Faculty support can be found on the Pure support page in the 'Support and training' section.
Get in touch with your Faculty Pure contact or Research Engagement Librarian to request this. We will then coordinate a training session accordingly. Alternatively, you can come along to one of our Pure Drop-In sessions (scroll down to the ‘Events Schedule’ at the bottom of the page’).
The ePrints team in the Library are the authority in these areas. Please contact them at eprints@soton.ac.uk
Whilst it is recommended that you leave your notifications on, you can customise which notifications you receive. Instructions on how to do this can be found on the Library Pure Page – Message and email settings in Pure.
