Why can't I access library databases and articles online?

Answer

Access issues can be related to

  • the browser you're using
  • caches and cookies
  • your current USU affiliation status (student, alumni, concurrent enrollment, etc.)

USU Affiliation Status

Current students, staff, faculty, and faculty with emeritus status can access online library resources, including databases. USU alumni and the public cannot access databases from outside the library, due to licensing restrictions. However, public access is available if you come to the library building.

  • Students: If you are not a current student but are registered for a future semester and need online access to the library before your class starts, contact the Registrar's Office (435) 797-1116.
  • USU staff or faculty: contact your direct supervisor to update your A# Banner access to include library privileges.
  • Concurrent enrollment students: (taking a USU course while in high school) see our concurrent enrollment FAQ for additional help troubleshooting access issues.
