How Do I Access Databases from Off Campus?


Georgetown-affiliated users can access most of the Library's online databases from off campus. To log in from off campus: 



  1. Navigate to the database through GEORGE or Articles & Databases.

  2. After you click on the database name, you will be asked to sign in with your last name and GoCard number (nine-digit UID number). This verifies that you are a current Georgetown student, faculty or staff member.

Note that you cannot access a subscription database from off campus by using a Google search or typing in its URL (e.g. www.proquest.com).  Only links to databases from the Library's webpages will direct you to the Georgetown off-campus login prompt. 


Limitations on Off-Campus Access


Some databases are restricted to in-library use only. Others may require a special log-in name and password. Such restrictions will be noted in the database description in GEORGE or Articles & Databases. If login information is required, you can obtain it from the reference desk: reference@georgetown.edu or (202) 687-7452.


For Alumni


Alumni have access to a limited number of databases from off campus.
