How Do I... 

How do I access a database from off campus?

 

When you attempt to access the Carmichael Library databases from a computer off-campus you will be required to provide evidence that you are a member of the University of Montevallo community.  Only currently enrolled students, faculty and staff are eligible to use these databases.  Just click on the name of the database and you will be prompted to enter your University ID.  This will verify, or authenticate, you as a member of the University of Montevallo.

If you are unable to access a database, please consider the following:

• Your University ID is entered incorrectly

• You attempted to access a database from an unauthorized IP address

• The database restricts the number of simultaneous users

• There are problems with Internet, your Internet provider, or the database

Try again later.  

If your problem persists, contact library@montevallo.edu.  Provide as much information as possible and we will try to identify the cause of your inability to access the database.
