How do you access the databases off campus?
These databases are licensed for the exclusive use of enrolled Emmanuel College students, College Faculty, and Staff. Remote access is available for most of the Library's subscription databases with an Online Academic Resources (OAR) username and password.
For all databases except Science Direct and Worldview, click on the "Off-Campus Access" link (or title) to access the login screen and enter your Emmanuel Online Academic Resources account information. If you do not know your OAR username and password, first click on "Find My Username" on the login screen. Then once you know your username, click on "Forgot My Password" on the login screen to reset your password.
If you cannot set or reset your password, please notify the Emmanuel College Helpdesk. The Library cannot set or reset passwords.
You will need a unique login for both Science Direct and Worldview.
These logins will change periodically and you must be a registered Library patron for remote access. To obtain remote access information, in person or by telephone, you will need to give your library barcode to a reference librarian. If you are not yet registered at the Library, please come in with your Emmanuel ID to fill out a registration form and receive your individual patron barcode. You may also email your request to Reference@emmanuel.edu. You must use your Emmanuel FirstClass email account for authentication. We cannot send passwords to any other email addresses.

How do you obtain full text of an article from a citation?
If the database that you are searching does not have full text of an article, use the following steps to obtain full text:
1. Search for journal (or source) title in the Full-Text Finder .
Check that the available dates for full text include the date of your article citation.
2. Search the Online Catalog for the journal title using the Title search option. The results will show if Emmanuel College or any other Fenway Library Online institutions have holdings for the journal. Check holdings for the date of your article.
3. Place an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Request for the article if full text is not available online or in print. Fill in the form completely including your contact information. An ILL request may take 2-3 weeks to fill depending on the availability of the item.
