Q. How do I get access to the library databases if I know my A#?

If you are on campus you can enter your search in the search box provided or search our databases by clicking on the database button on our home page. Academic Source Premier is a comprehensive database and a good place to start for many but not all subject areas. Clicking on the database link will bring you to our  A-Z databases list page to see a list of databases where you can view databases by title or subject area. If you are looking for a specific guide, a librarian showed you in a library orientation you can access the guide from the drop-down on the home page in the right-hand column You can also choose a subject guide from the list on the left of the page. 

If you are not on campus you will be prompted to enter your student number which is the same number used to login to your email or Blackboard.  The number begins with A and is followed by 8 digits.  The number is printed on your schedule. Both the A and the numbers are required. Students need to use their A# and a library password to access library databases from off-campus.  Your library password uses your birth date in the form of mmddyyyy  (no dashes, slashes or hyphens. )From the link below, you can reset your password. Make sure you enter a capital "A" for your A#.

If you are still having problems contact the library for more assistance.
