Off-Campus Access

Remote Access to most subscription databases, from computers not connected to the University's network, is available by using the library number from an activated Bloomsburg University ID using the Pilot Patron Authentication System.

When Off-Campus Access is Denied

1. Omit all spaces between library card numbers. Card activation status may be checked by calling the Library's Circulation Desk at 570-389-4205. Remote access is not provided to the general public, including those with Pennsylvania Resident cards.

2. Version 4.0 or higher of both Netscape and Internet Explorer are recommended for most databases.
