How do I access databases from home?

How do I get access to databases and library resources like electronic journal articles, pdf documents, and ebooks from off-campus?


Answer

Off-site access to the library's subscription article databases requires an SDSUid (@sdsu.edu email address). 

To log into your SDSU account from the library's homepage: 

  1. Click on My Library Account (below the red "Explore the Library" box)
  2. Select Student and Employee Login
  3. Sign in to your SDSU email account

Current students, staff, and faculty can activate their SDSUid by visiting https://it.sdsu.edu/sdsuid. Due to licensing restrictions, the library cannot provide database access to those not affiliated with the University.
