Connecting to Library Resources from Home

The Library has 50 databases and reference sources online, as well as our catalog.
To top it all off, we also offer OneSearch where you can search everything at once!
So how do you get into all this good stuff if you're not on campus? Here's how:

1. Whenever you're at home, work, or somewhere other than HCC,
   just go to our web site. Then...
2. Go to the article databases page for journal and newspaper articles...
3. Or go to the online reference books page for dictionaries, encyclopedias,
   and specialized subject works.
4. If you want one big, exciting search, then go to OneSearch in the
   upper left corner, or on our home page, for the main search box
   and the link to advanced options.
5. In each case, you'll find links to enter resources or submit a search.
   When you click, you will be sent to another page to login. All you
   need is your last name and HCC ID number.

Please note: We are aware of some common problems that you can easily avoid
with these simple precautions.

• If you use AOL, you will want to minimize the AOL window once you
  are connected, then open another browser (such as MS Internet
  Explorer) separately.
• If you have pop-up blocking software that you installed by itself, you
  may need to turn it off while using our electronic resources. Many of the
  interfaces do things that look like pop-ups to the software, but are not.
• Finally, be sure your browser is set to accept at least first-party cookies.
  This control is typically found in the "Tools" menu under "Options." You
  may need to find a tab or button called "Privacy" to see the settings and
  change them.
