Did you know?

Did you know that you can access databases from off campus? That's right when your writing that paper from home you still have access to the resources that you need. If you're asking how you can do this, look no further than following these simple steps.

The situation:
You've gone home to your parents house in Hawaii, but you've got a paper due first thing when you get back. You don't have time to go to the library and your professor said no Google, only library databases! What are you to do?

Here's what:
1st you're going to need your Galileo password and you're MUID, so grab you BearCard. You can find out your Galileo password by going to your Library Account off of the Tarver home page. You can also use this page for other things, like seeing when your books are due.

2nd Go to our databases page and choose the database that you want to search. Not sure which one it is? Go to our subject librarians pages to give you a start. Once you select the database that you need it will ask you either for your Galileo password or your MUID. That's it! Just put in the correct password and your good to go.

3rd Now you can find those articles that you need for research.

Please note that the Galileo password changes on a regular basis, so don't worry if you forget it, just go back and take a look.

If you need any help during this process check with one of the reference librarians, who will be glad to help you with your searches. Please do note our hours we're open and the days that we're closed. If you need help when we're closed check with your local public library they may be able to offer some help. Or start your research as early as possible!
