Current students, faculty, and staff may access *most of the Library's databases, journals, and eBooks from off-campus. (*exceptions listed at bottom of page)

1. Make sure to start your search at the Library's website or a library research guide, rather than starting at Google or a web address.

2. If you select a library resource that requires authentication, you will be taken to a login screen asking for your Kalamazoo College username and password. This authentication process tells our databases you're part of the K community and should be granted access. 

3. Sign in with your username and password. This is sometimes called your KNET username, KNET ID, or KNET account.

         * Student usernames appear like this:
           k21xx00 (where 21 is your year of entry, xx is your initials, and 00 is two digits).
         * Employee usernames appear like this:
           khornet, where k is first initial, and hornet is the last name.

4.  

5. Once authenticated, you should be forwarded to the resource and granted the same access as if you were located "on-campus."

      *If you have any problems accessing resources from off-campus, or have any questions, please contact us at library@kzoo.edu.
