About Remote / Off-Campus Access to Electronic Resources

When accessed remotely from off-campus, all of the Library's electronic resources require you to authenticate.

How to Remotely Access electronic Resources

  1. When you click on a electronic resources link and new window or tab will open.
  2. You will be forwarded to a page that asks you to enter the barcode number from your student ID card.
  3. This is the 12 digit number below the barcode on your student ID card (or 300 plus your student number). However, if you have not registered at the STMU Library then your barcode will not be on the authentication list.
  4. If you are prompted for an username or password then something is wrong. Please contact the library notify us about your problem.

You're Still Being Denied Access?

There may be administrative or Technical Reasons that you can't gain access to the Library's Electronic Resources:

  1. Is there anything wrong with your student registration?

    • Check with the STMU administration office.

  2. Did you register late at STMU? And did you register at the Library?

    • Our authentication records are updated on a regular basis. However, if you registered after the ADD/DROP registration deadline, then you need to come to the STMU Library to be registered in the library circulation system before your barcode can be included in the authentication lists.
    • You require a STMU ID card in order to register. Once you have registered it can take up to 2 weeks before you have remote /off-campus access to the Library's electronic resources.
