DATABASES: ALPHABETICAL LIST

Off campus access to subscription databases is validated through a campus server. Use the small box after each database entry for login. Use the same name (everything before the @) and password you do for "mystate" and "campus email" as your login. On campus access is STILL through the large red title for each database. The campus moved to a new proxy server on February 15, 2018. If you are having problems accessing the databases from off campus you may need to refresh your webpage to connect to the new server instead of the old one.
