Getting In When You Are Off Campus

We would like to remind our off-campus users that if you want to access library resources from home, you need to log in to your library account. Access to subscription databases is limited to current Hope faculty, students, and staff. Therefore, if you are at an off-campus computer (including many cottages) you will need to log into the library proxy server.

It will be easiest to log in before you try to access an online database or journal. Go to https://lib.hope.edu/patroninfo and type in your 13 digit library barcode number (from the back of your Hope College ID card) and PIN . Once you are logged in, you can access the databases via the General Research Databases, Databases by Academic Department or Off-campus Access links. If you need further instruction, view this screencast tutorial or call the Reference Desk for assistance at 395-7904.
