Accessing Library Resources from Home

When at home, the first time you use a library resource in your browser you will be redirected to a Gmail log-in screen in order to authenticate that you are a member of the Spence Community. To authenticate, enter your Spence email address and password. After you authenticate, you will be automatically directed to the database you select. You only need to authenticate once during a browsing session.
