Off-Campus Access

Descriptions of how to access Franco Library databases when off-campus.

Open Access Resources

Some of the databases listed on the library website are open access, meaning that the sources available on these platforms are freely accessible to the public.

If you're trying to access any of these databases off-campus, you do not need to authenticate beforehand. You will be sent right into the platform regardless of whether or not you've already authenticated your Alvernia credentials on another platform (i.e. email, Canvas, OneDrive, etc.).

List of Applicable Databases

The following databases are open access, and do not require Alvernia students to authenticate before accessing them off-campus.
