Frequently Asked Questions


General Library

    How do I access the library databases from off campus?


You need to come to Begley Library to obtain your library card which will have a barcode affixed to the back. A circulation clerk or librarian will also give you the temporary barcode to use until your permanent barcode is included in our remote users list.

When you attempt to use a Begley Library database from our Find Articles page from off-campus, a window will appear with instructions for inputting your barcode in order to gain access. If you still have questions, click on the "Ask a Librarian" quick link at the top of our web pages. Generally, your own barcode should become active in 1-2 weeks.
