Off Campus Access to Library Resources

Chicago State University purchases database access for those who have an association with CSU. To verify association with CSU, the library asks for your CSU email account user name and password.

When attempting to access databases from off campus, you will be asked to provide your CSU email user name and password.

To access databases from off campus, from the alphabetical list of databases, simply click on any database. Two small boxes will appear like this in the upper left portion of your screen.

Please enter your username:
Please enter your password:

Your user name is your CSU email account user name. Your user name is the first half or first part of your e-mail account everything up to the @ symbol. Do not include the @csu.edu. For example, if your email account is sjones@csu.edu, your user name is sjones.

The password required is the password associated with your CSU e-mail account. You should have received a letter in the mail with your CSU email user name and password. It is totally different than the Blackboard password (the last four of your social security number). Your Blackboard account information will NOT work in trying to access library resources.

If you have questions about your CSU e-mail account or do not have a CSU e-mail account, please visit the Academic Computing Lab in LIB122 in Douglas Hall. The Help Desk can be reached by phone at 773 995-3963.
