On-Campus Access

You can access library resources directly from anywhere on campus where you have an internet connection.

Off-Campus Access

You don't have to come to the library to use the online databases and other resources. To get access to electronic journal articles, e-books and more:

1.Follow links to library resources from our homepage.

2. Enter your first and last name and the number on your RockyCard.

Some instructors place textbooks and other course materials on "reserve" at the Library. This means that the materials are being held for your class. To identify reserves for your class click "Course Reserves" on the library homepage and search by course number or instructor's name.  To request a reserve, please provide the staff at the Circulation Desk (on your left as you walk into the library) the reserve item number. They will check it out to you for the specified reserve time.

Many of our library departments employ student workers. If you are interested in working complete this online application.  Library jobs are also listed with other on-campus jobs on the Career Center's website.
