• If it is convenient for you to visit the SJU Campus, go to the Academic Technology Center - Room 129 in the Science Center, bring along your SJU ID, request an "SJU Campus Network account", and you will be given the account information right then and there.  It is wise to call before you come, to check on the lab's hours: (610) 660-2920.  (The Barbelin building is designated as 19 on our campus map.)

• If it is not convenient for you to visit the SJU Campus, call the Information Technology Help Desk at (610) 660-2920, and explain that you are an SJU student at Ursinus and that you would like to arrange for an Information Technology network account over the phone.  The account cannot be given out until you sign an official agreement of use, so you will have to arrange to do that with them by fax or mail.

Access to our restricted resources from off campus is handled by a proxy server. Our software detects when a user is off campus and has requested a restricted resource and then triggers a login page. A user simply enters her/his SJU Username/Password and s/he will be allowed access into the resource. For questions, please speak to a Librarian at the SJU Information Desk.
 

All titles held by the Library are accessible through the MBS online public access catalog via terminals throughout the Library. In addition, students may search the catalog from home or office through the World Wide Web (your computer must have Telnet capability).

MBA students have access to all holdings and other library services using an Ursinus I.D. card issued the first week of class. Students who wish to borrow books from Drexel Library at Saint Joseph's University must use an SJU I.D.
