Access & Check Out
Access to Electronic Resources
If you are on campus, click on (or mouse-over) Databases by Title or E-Journals by Title in the drop-down menu at the top of any library web page. If you are off-campus, you will be prompted for a user name and password after clicking on the database you have selected. Enter your network computer login (the login Technology Services assigned to you for access to campus computers and to Blackboard). Off-campus access to databases is only available to SAU students, faculty, and staff.
If you are a new student, or you have never used your network login before, you will need to contact Technology Services (870-235-4083) to get login information. If you have forgotten your login, you may contact the Reference Desk (870-235-5083) or Technology Services. Your network login will give you access to most databases without needing additional passwords. If you time-out of a database, or if you close your browser, you may need to login again.
Check-Out Policies
Faculty, staff and students must have a valid Southern Arkansas University ID card to check out materials. ID cards are available at Camp Hall from Information Technology Services (870-235-4083).
