Connecting to Library Resources from Off-Campus
- At the Murphy Library website, select a database to
search.
- After you select a database, you will be asked for a
username and password.
- In the username box, enter the word eagle, then
enter a backslash (\), then enter your
UW-L email user name. Example: eagle\lastname.firs
(Most UW-L email user names follow this format: first 8 letters of your last name followed by a dot (.) followed by the first 4 letters of your first name.)
DO NOT include @students.uwlax.edu or @uwlax.edu as part of your username.
- In the password box, enter your
UW-L email password.
- Remember, other than entering the word eagle and the backslash (\), you will use the exact same user name and login as you use to read your UW-L email.
Example:
Note: If you have an accurate UW-L email username and password, you should be able to access library databases. The library does not control UW-L email 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 email login or password, please contact the ITS Support Desk at 785-8774.
