Off-Campus Access

You have off-campus access to Library subscription databases if you are a currently enrolled PCC Student or a PCC Staff or Faculty member.

Public Patrons can only access these databases from stations located inside the library building, or by using the PCC_Campus WiFi network on campus.

Students

When prompted, sign in using your PCC email address (ending in @go.smcun.com) and password. Once you've signed in, you should be able to access all of our databases. See our troubleshooting tips if you have any trouble getting in!

Note: If you are a student who is also a staff member or student worker, you will need to log in using the Faculty and Staff instructions below. 

Faculty and Staff

Sign in using your @smcun.com email address. You will be required to use multi-factor identification. See our troubleshooting tips if you have any trouble getting in!

Public Patrons

Public Patrons can use our databases inside the library building by obtaining a guest pass at the Lab Desk on the Lower Level.
