Off-campus Access to Library Databases

Search the databases for journal articles under FIND RESOURCES on the library homepage. This provides a subject list of the library's databases. When you click on databases you'd like to search, you will be taken to an Authentication screen which looks like this:


Enter your 14-digit library barcode number (21276000...) and password (your last name).

If you do not have a library barcode, come into the library to get one or use the Request a Library Barcode link on the library home page. NOTE: Request a barcode link is for ONLINE ONLY students.
