Details About Off-Campus Access:
Most of the PC Library databases are accessible from off-campus by PC students, faculty, and staff. All you need is your MEID and a PIN. Your MEID is underneath the badge# on the back of your Student ID.
This is what the back of your Cub Card (Student ID card) looks like:
When you click on a database link from our web pages, you will be prompted for your MEID and the last four digits of your phone number.
Click Submit Query and you will be sent directly to the database.
** If you are enrolled in online classes using Blackboard, you will also have the option to login using your Blackboard username and password.
Are you having problems connecting to the databases?
| Problem: |
Your ID card has not been validated by the library and therefore your MEID or your PIN number is not being accepted. |
Solution: |
Stop by or call (602-285-7473) the PC Library Circulation Desk and get your ID validated. This process takes only a few minutes.
|
Problem: |
You are not a PC affiliated user. Our license agreements with the vendors of certain databases permit only PC students & employees to use the databases from off-campus locations. |
Solution: |
Come to the PC Library to use the databases. Everyone has access to the databases when using them from inside of our building. |
Problem: |
You are trying to login using Blackboard, but you are not currently registered for any courses that use Blackboard. |
Solution: |
Login to the databases using your MEID and PIN. |
Problem: |
The service provider's computer is "down" or the Internet is slow for one reason or another. |
Solution: |
Try again later or come to the PC Library and use our print resources.
|
Problem: |
You have a firewall installed on your computer and it is prohibiting you from entering the databases. This is common on work computers. |
Solution: |
Temporarily disable the firewall while searching the library databases. If you are not sure how to do this, contact your Internet Service provider (i.e. Cox). |
Please call the PC Library Reference Desk at 602-285-7470 for further assistance or chat with a librarian online from the PC Library homepage.
