This guide gives you access to online databases, journals, eBooks, tutorials, reference, and web resources that will help you with your library assignments, general research, and citation needs.
Library resources and services are fully available online or via the Web. Below are the services available to distance education and online students:
When you attempt to access a database or an article from the library's web site, you will be prompted to log in with your A-Student ID Number and Password (6-Digit Date of Birth, ex., 010179).
When you access an article or database you will see the Off-Campus login screen.
After logging in (aka "authenticating"), you should be directed automatically to the article, database or other electronic resources you wanted.
If it doesn't work, there are steps you can take to resolve the problem.
Having trouble with Off-Campus Access?
If you encounter a broken link or cannot get into a resource, you can do a few things first to make sure that there really is a problem.
If you still cannot get into the resource use the Off-Campus Access Request Form to report the problem.
