    Any passwords you need for journals are shown on the "My Library" tab under UCD Connect.

    Other than that if you're off campus, you should always log in to connect so it'll set the Athens Authentication cookie on your PC which the journals will see and let you in. There's a list of databases linked to on connect which the library have access to.

    Not a password asuch. Open your UCD Connect Account and look at the list if tabs at the top. You'll see "My Library", "My Courses" etc.

    Open "My Library".

    You'll then see a box with "The Library 24/7" on the top right hand side and open the "Databases" link. If you look through this you'll find a link to Lexis that'll open without any password being neccesary.

    Hope that helps! :)
