Accessing Library Databases from Off Campus

Using NCU library databases from home? Learn how to sign in with your NCU account and where to get help with library access, which the T. J. Jones Library supports.

Researching from home? Many North Central University library databases let you sign in with your NCU account from anywhere. The T. J. Jones Library manages and supports database access.

Get to the databases

1	Start from the library website Go to libguides.northcentral.edu and open the database you need from there, not from a search engine.
2	Sign in with your NCU account If you're asked to sign in, use your NCU email address, password, and MFA.

Not every database works the same way off campus. If one doesn't let you in, ask the library.
