Special Passwords for Databases
Special Database Passwords--College of St. Catherine Libraries
In most cases, off-campus access to library databases requires
using EZproxy. It's easy to login to EZproxy--you only have to type in
your library barcode number. (Please note: Starting on May 22, 2007, most people will login to EZproxy using their CSC network login instead of barcode number. See Connecting to Library Databases from Off Campus for more information.) However, if for some reason you are not able
to get EZproxy to work, you might be able to connect to a particular database
using a special password for that database. This should be used only as a last resort, since it will be impossible for you to access all of our content in this way.
How to obtain special passwords for library databases:
- Select a database from the list below.
- Login as if you were going to check your Lotus Notes e-mail over the web.
- You will then be shown the password for the database. Make a note
of the password and any other login instructions.
- Select the "Connect to" link to go to the database.
Databases which can be accessed by special password:

Many of these databases include

to you from off campus when you access these databases using the special
passwords. Whenever possible, connect to these databases using EZproxy
(see our Find Articles in Databases page).
