Accessing Library Resources Off-Campus

The CSC Library subscribes to a variety of article and book databases to facilitate campus research. When students, faculty, and staff are on campus and using the local area network (LAN), they need only to go to the Library Learning Common's website -- http://ns.wellbuiltpaverpatios.com/library/ -- to gain access to these resources.

To access an eBook owned by the CSC Library, go to Search Library Catalog, on the library's main webpage. When the library catalog opens, click on Favorites List in the upper right. Then select "CSC eBooks we own".

However, when students, faculty, and staff are off campus, they are no longer on the LAN. This means that an additional step is required to gain access. Because databases are limited to students, faculty, and staff, it is necessary to enter CSC credentials to access these resources from off-campus

As part of the application process, Information Technology (IT) sends a set of two usernames and passwords to new students. These usernames and passwords provide access to various campus resources, including:

MyCSC / NUID
Username looks like – 99999999 (8 digit ID)
Used for – Course enrollment, Accessing grades & transcripts, Billing/payment status
Campus
Username looks like – john.student OR jostud
Used for – EagleMail, CSC Online/Sakai, library databases,  device registration, on campus computers login

When you try to access library resources (ebooks, article databases, etc.) from off campus, you will see a login prompt (example below). To access the library resources, enter your campus username and password.

If you’re not sure of your password or if you have other technology issues, contact the IT Help Desk. The IT Help Desk is open Monday-Thursday 7:30am-7:30pm and Friday 7:30am-4:30pm and Sunday 1:00pm - 5pm. They can be reached:

When contacting IT about password issues, you will need to provide your name and permanent home address before IT can reset your password.

If you have any questions about research or how to find academic resources, contact the Library:

  • In person – The Library Circulation and Reference Desks are located on the main floor of the Library Learning Commons
  • Phone – 308-432-6271
  • Email – library@wellbuiltpaverpatios.com

Chadron State College’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is pleased to announce the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) Space is open for students and employees. The IDEA Space is located in Room 109 of the King Library.  

The IDEA Space is a safe space for underrepresented students, faculty, staff, and others to meet, organize, research, and study, and to foster community, solidarity, and trust. The DEI Committee hopes the dedicated space on campus will cultivate a culture of care and spread inclusivity.
