Off-Campus Access (Remote Access)


Even if you're not in the Monroe area, you still have access to many of the same library services.

Databases (journal, newspaper, and encyclopedia articles)

Many of the sources in our databases are available online in full text. To log in to the databases from off-campus, simply enter your username (CWID) and PIN (birth date in MMYY format) when prompted. Delta Students should enter a Delta Campus ID. The log in screens typically look like these:

Do notice that the drop-down menu on the right does not select ULM automatically. Scroll down and select its name to proceed. Also notice that you will sometimes be asked for your SSN. That is not correct and a CWID should instead be entered.

For ARSTOR, RIA Tax Services, Netlibrary, and LearningExpress Library, you must create and account while on campus (resisdence halls not included). If you can not come to campus, we can create accounts for you.

E-books

E-books can be found in our catalog and are like print books except that they are electronic. NetLibrary is one way in which e-books can be accessed, but users must create an account while on campus. If you cannot come to the library in person, you can contact a reference librarian to help you create an account remotely.

To obtain an account, click "Create a Free Account" in the upper right-hand corner. Then fill out a short form (email address required). When you are done, you may visit NetLibrary anywhere with your new account.
