OFF-CAMPUS ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC LIBRARY SERVICES: GUIDELINES

Library Website: http://camellia.shc.edu/byrne/elibrary.htm

The Library is pleased to offer off-campus access to many of the electronic databases to which it subscribes. To take advantage of this, you’ll need a computer, an Internet connection, and Internet browsing software (Netscape, Internet Explorer). One small caveat: the companies permitting access to their files all do it somewhat differently, so, we can’t yet provide you with one set of guidelines to fit all circumstances.
