Note: If you have an accurate UW-L NetID, you should be able to access library databases. The library does not control UW-L NetID accounts or passwords, but does use the system to provide access to databases.

If you are having difficulties gaining access to our licensed databases please refer to our Troubleshooting Tips.

For assistance with your UW-L NetID, please contact the ITS Support Desk at 785-8774.
