Archer Library Database News

Archer Library Database Access 

Archer Library is excited to announce that access to online library collections, such as databases, eBooks, articles, and journals, will utilize Microsoft SSO (single sign on) for off-campus authentication. We are also changing our proxy server host to provide secure access to these resources. These changes will take place on Tuesday, December 17th. 

What does this mean? 

If you have library databases, journals, eBooks, or article links bookmarked for personal use, or added to courses on Blackboard, they will need to be updated with the new proxy URL. We recommend using Archer Library's A-Z Database List as a starting point to access resources and update permalinks that require authentication. 

• If you have questions, our Course Content • Can I Use this? guide will be updated to address these changes and reflect use of library resources in your online course. 
• In-person help at the start of the spring term will be available on Thursday, January 2 and Friday, January 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the active learning lab, Archer Library main floor. If you have questions, stop in for help.
