Database Access from Off-Campus
All article databases (i.e. EBSCO MegaFILE) and e-book collections (i.e. Netlibrary) can be accessed from off-campus by current students, faculty, and staff. To access databases from off-campus:
- Select a database
Note: You cannot access the database from the vendor's web site. You must click on the database link found on this web site to access the database. - You will be asked to login. Enter your Saint Mary's University username and password, which is the same username and password that you use to access WebTools, Blackboard, Saint Mary's email, Engage (online students only), and on-campus computers.
- Click on the "submit query" button.
Contact the IT Helpdesk (tchelpdesk@smumn.edu or 1-800-372-8176 ext. 7800) if you encounter problems logging into databases or if you forgot your username/password. If you can log into WebTools, Blackboard, Saint Mary's email, and Engage (online students only), but you cannot log into the databases from off-campus, your account may not be fully activated. Contact the IT Helpdesk to activate your account.
My Account / Interlibrary Loan Login
You will use the following information to log into your library account or request interlibrary loan books / articles:
- Username: 14-digit barcode number found on your student ID card (i.e. 235000........)
- Password: your last name (i.e. johnson)
Your student id is also used for checking out materials from the library. If you forgot your 14-digit barcode number or do not have your student id card, you can figure out your barcode number by adding 235000 to your student id number. Contact us if you encounter problems logging into your library account or ordering interlibrary loan books / articles.
Requesting an ID Card
Your ID card provides your username for using WebTools, Blackboard, Saint Mary's email, and Engage (online students only). The ID card also contains your 14-digit library barcode number, which you can use to check out materials from SMU Twin Cities Library and affiliated libraries and to order Interlibrary Loan materials.
If your card is damaged, lost, or stolen, you may request a replacement for $20, which will be charged to your student account. Learn how to request a new card here.
