Accessing Electronic Resources

Electronic Resources can be accessed from the library's main website in two ways:

  1. Click on "Databases by Subject" to get a list of resources organized by discipline.  If you're searching for general information, you can select "Central Search" to search through general databases.
  2. Click on "Database A-Z list" to get a list of all the resources we have access to electronically.  If you're looking for a particular database or index (PsycINFO, ERIC, etc) this will be the best way to get there.

Remote access logins are the same as your Blackboard or Grizmail accounts.  You will be asked for this information when you use most library resources off campus.  If you are asked for any other logins, please contact me or the reference desk (1-800-240-4939)
