Library Services: FAQs
Q: How do I access databases off-campus?
A: To access databases off-campus, you first must go to the electronic databases page located at http://www.deltastate.edu/pages/676.asp and have your Student ID (your 900 #) and six-digit DOB handy. Once you click on your desired database, you will be prompted to enter in your login information. For more instructions on accessing databases off-campus, please visit http://www.deltastate.edu/docs/library/offcampusdbs.pdf.
Q: How can I access the full-text of journal articles?
A: Accessing full-text varies from database to database. Usually, the links to full-text are easy to spot. For instance, in EBSCOhost, the full-text links read HTML Full-text or PDF Full-text; whereas in JSTOR, the full-text is represented simply by PDF. Although the librarys access to full-text resources is increasing day by day, please be aware that not every article or document will be available full-text. For more information on accessing full-text, please visit the respective database guides at http://www.deltastate.edu/pages/733.asp.
