MSW Research: Library Info

When accessing licensed online resources from off-campus, you must verify that you are affiliated with the college. This is accomplished through authentication via EZproxy. Before you are passed through to the resource you wish to access, you will be directed to this screen:

The username and password are the same credentials you use to access the network on campus. Typically, the username follows the pattern firstname.lastname. For example:  john.doe

Do not include the email suffix "@lcuniversity.edu."

Use the same password you use for logging onto the campus network.  

Once you have authenticated, you have access to the same resources and functionalities as you would on campus.

Interlibrary loan (ILL) provides current students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to obtain books, journal articles, and other resource materials that are not available through the library's collections. ILL allows the library to supplement its collections and enhance research opportunities. 

Before submitting an ILL request, carefully check existing resources on the library website.
