Off campus access to the library's electronic resources is provided multiple ways:

2. To access individual Online Research Databases or e-Book Collections, you'll be prompted to enter your SMC username and password. This is the same username and password you use to access SMC email or to login to computers at SMC. For the username you only need to enter the first part of the email address (example: smithjd15).
3. Online (distance education) students may request Print books they find in the SMC Library Catalog. These books will be mailed to the student's address free of charge (return postage will be included). Email smclibrary@smcsc.edu with the following information: name, address, phone number, title of the book, call number.
4. Online (distance education) students may also use PASCAL Delivers (learn more by selecting the Finding & Requesting Books tab on the left side menu).
