Logging on to the Research Databases is Easier than Ever!

The log-in process for getting access to the Research Databases has changed.

Good change? Bad change? you ask, faintly...

Definitely good change. No longer do you have to memorize 9 different ID/password protocols for our 59 databases.

To access the Research Databases you now use your network account username and password. You can remember that? Easy! This is the same username and password you use to log-in to Blackboard and the computers in the Library or Computer Lab.

The two exceptions to this are the Books In Print and BioOne databases which will still require the institution username and password. Just ask us if you need to use those databases.


You can log in to the Research Databases TWO (2) ways: from the Library's webpage: FIND ARTICLES Research Databases or from the Library tab once you log into Blackboard. From the library website you will need to log in to each database; from Blackboard, once you've logged in, you have access to all the databases (once for all).

If you have any problems or questions please call the library at (619)441-2200 ext. 1227 during normal business hours.
