NEW DATABASE LOGIN PROCEDURE

In order to better serve you as well as collect useful data regarding resource usage the University Library will be changing how you access resources beginning January 10th, 2011. On-campus users will be prompted to login when you access a database. Off-campus use will not be changed.
___________________________________________

The message will read:

Please enter your Samford Username (without the "@samford.edu") and password in the blanks below to access, then click on the "sign in" button.

Please enter your Samford Username:________@samford.edu
Please enter your Samford Password:________

[Sign In]
___________________________________________

Note: These databases are available only to current students and employees of Samford University. All users are allowed to login, even when using resources from on campus locations. Visitors to the campus: Please visit the circulation or reference desk of the University Library for temporary access to online research resources.

Once you have logged in to a database you will not be required to login again as long as you keep your browser open. In most cases databases will open in a new browser or tab.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to serving you this year.
