Can I access library resources from off-site?

If I have a library card, can I access the library's resources if I am not in the library? 


Answer

That depends.  All of the library's materials are accessible onsite without restriction - print materials, databases and online journals.

If you are not an MCU student, you cannot access any of the library's subscription resources remotely.  Generally speaking, if you are not a student, your library card allows you to check out library materials. 

If you are a student, you must know what your Library account number is in order to access electronic resources remotely.  

Our Database A-Z list shows all of the resources available through the MCU Research Library.  It also includes several resources that are Open Access or Government Resources (generally denoted by a black lock). These resources may be used by anyone.  

For questions about using the library's resources or for help with research, please email the reference department at mcu_grc_reference at usmcu.edu.  For help with your Library Account, please contact our Access Services department at mcu_grc_circ at usmcu.edu.
