Accessing library databases off campus

Access three ways:

Log in to the Research Portal through the Online Catalog, using your 8 digit student ID number and password which is probably your birth date. Once logged in, you can access and search simultaneously the Online Catalog and selected databases; or just select specific database(s) to search. You can search the Research Portal on or off campus.

Alternative off campus access: Log in to Wavelink by using your 8 digit student ID number and password. Once logged in, look for the Academic Resources tab to locate the listing of all the Library’s databases with off campus passwords. The databases listed include live links for direct access. Please make a note of the selected database’s password/user name to use before clicking on the database link.

Students can also pick up the database password handout sheet located at the Library Circulation Desk.
