How do I access library articles, databases, e-journals, and e-books from off campus?

Current SHU students, faculty, or staff can access SHU Library articles, databases, e-journals, and e-books from off campus using your SHU username and password. 

When logging in, use only your SHU username, not your full SHU email address. For example, use smithj3 instead of smithj3@mail.sacredheart.edu

When you use QuickSearch from the library homepage or select an individual library database, you may be prompted to log in.  

Enter your SHU username and password when prompted. 

If you have trouble logging in or accessing online library resources from off campus, visit the library’s Off-Campus Library Access page for help and troubleshooting.
