Back to the Lyell Collection information page

To access the Lyell Collection please ensure you are using the latest browser version of Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox. When downloading pdf articles please check your internet browser settings to allow pop-ups from the Lyell Collection site.

 

1)  Activate your member access

The Lyell Collection site host will email an access activation email to you when your entitlements have been uploaded (up to 7 days from receipt of the information from your membership organisation). Please follow the instructions in the email to register with CONNECT and link the access record to your email address. If you do not receive a verification code in time please contact us.

If you already have a CONNECT login please login with your registered email and CONNECT password. If your member email address is different to the one registered on CONNECT you can add it as an additional email address when logged into CONNECT. 

The options to sign in with ORCID, Google, Microsoft, Apple and Twitter credentials are available, but this will not provide access to member content. 

 

2)  When activation is complete

Click "Log In | Register", then "Individual Login | Register" and then enter your email address and password to login and view the relevant content.

Member access entitlements will not be listed in the Access Entitlements area of My Account. Please login here to see non-GSL member access entitlements. If the relevant journal is not listed please contact us with your membership type and number.

Login to the Lyell Collection

When you are first added to the Lyell Collection, the system sends an email to your registered email address so that you can verify the email address and confirm that you wish to activate your account. This email is sent from lyellcollection[at]geolsoc.org.uk

An email is also sent when your access record is updated by an amendment from the membership database e.g. a change of email address or an update for the new membership year.

When you are given access to a new publication, the system sends an email to your registered email address to confirm this entitlement and also a reminder to activate your account if not already done so. This email is sent from lyellcollection[at]geolsoc.org.uk

If you have already registered on the new platform then please use the email address entered when registering on the site or logging in. You can request a verification code to be sent to this email address if you have forgotten your password. If you do not receive the code in time please contact us.

If you no longer have access to the registered email address please contact us to provide your new email address.

Please login and click on "Alerts" in the blue bar to sign up to receive email alerts for new issues or articles. More information here.

I see the message "Your IP (*.*.*.*) is blocked. Block Reason: More than 25 sessions created in 5 minutes." What should I do?

Please contact us by email with the details of the IP address shown in the message so we can investigate. Too many sessions have been created from a single IP address in a specified length of time e.g. multiple Lyell Collection webpages open on different browser tabs or trying to access one Lyell Collection webpage unsuccessfully 25 times.

When there is scheduled site maintenance, the Lyell Collection will operate in Read-Only mode during a 12-hour time window of the UK working day (approx. 0500-1700). This means that users will still be able to login and access content to which they are entitled (including downloading of PDFs), however, functionality such as the following will not be available while the upgrade is in progress:

  • New account registrations

  • Any changes to My Account

  • Password changes

  • Email alert additions and amendments

  • Adding publications as favourites

  • Ecommerce/Pay-per-view transactions

  • Activating access tokens

  • Anything that requires a change to the site/data on the site/data within the site.

It might be possible for users to make a change, but the change may not remain in place.

There will be an announcement at the top of all Lyell Collection pages in advance of any scheduled maintenance, and also on the day.
