Off-Campus Access

When prompted, log in with your university email and password to gain access.

Getting Full Text

Sometimes when looking for articles you may see an option that says "Full Text Finder."

 

Please click on this option. A new window will open and as long as the link doesn't say "Submit an ILL Request" you should eventually be able to get access. 

Please contact library staff for help.
