Q. How do I access library content from off campus?

Many ebooks, articles, and journals require a UMass Lowell login. As long as you use the links to library databases directly from the library webpage or LibGuides, you will be prompted to log in. And generally, if you are already logged into email or other campus services, and use the links from the library webpages or LibGuides, you will have direct access.

Visit the library's database page to click on any database you want to search for. Before it allows you to access the database, it will ask for credentials. Those are your campus email address and password. You may also be asked to confirm your identity using the campus dual authentication system. If you aren't asked to do this then the system already recognizes your account.

If you're looking for a specific journal, use the Journal By Title search box. This will allow you to see what full-text options we have, including what dates are available from each source. This will prompt you to log in, if necessary.
