Q. Can I access the library research databases from off-campus?

Yes! Online research databases can be accessed off-campus by current UNM students, staff, and faculty with a valid NetID.

To log in from off-campus:

• Start at the library homepage.
• Choose a database. Select by title, subject, or type. Not sure which one is the most suitable? Contact us!
• Enter your current UNM NetID and password when prompted.

To troubleshoot:

• Verify your affiliation in the UNM Directory
  • Search for and click on your name to verify that you have a current location of Main, HSLIC, or UNMH.
• Determine NetID validity. Are you able to log in to your Lobomail account?
  • UNM Net ID Maintenance and Password Changes.
• Ensure you are accessing articles and journals directly through library.unm.edu, not through a bookmark or vendor sites.
• Search in different browsers.
• Try getting into more than one database to help pinpoint access restrictions.
• Contact us!

*Note: Licensing agreements limit subscription database access to currently affiliated UNM students, faculty, and staff members, as well as faculty emeriti and UNM retirees. Non-UNM patrons can access El Portal, the State Library's collection of subscription databases.
