Off-Campus Resources

What is available to you when you're away from campus? More than you can imagine!

Nearly all of our online databases are easy to access from any computer or device with an Internet connection for DC students, faculty and staff.  And thanks to our partnerships with other Ohio libraries, we have access to a HUGE amount of research and information online.  All you need to do is start from the library's website and once you try to get into one of the databases, fill in the requested information to prove that you are a DC student, faculty or staff member.  You will be asked for your barcode number, so be sure to have your student or faculty ID card handy.  The directions on this page should help you get set up and ready to research in a jiffy.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask a librarian!
