OWHL Guides: Brace Fellows Research Guide: Databases & Journals

Accessing Resources From Off-Campus

Since most of your research will be done off-campus, accessing any of the OWHL's online resources and databases is still possible, however, the system acts a little differently. Whenever prompted use your 7-digit, Student ID number (on the back of your blue card) for your library card number, and use the last four digits of that same ID number for your PIN.

Example:

User ID: 1234567

Password: 4567
