Accessing Library Resources from Off-Campus: Home

How do I access articles and databases from the Spence Library?

How do I access articles and databases from home?

  • ​​​Access library electronic resources from the Spence Library website using your Spence School ID and password.* If your ID or password do not work, contact a librarian for help.

When at school, you can use the Spence Library resources using the links on the guide through automatic IP authentication.

When at home, the first time you use a library resource in your browser you will be redirected to a log-in screen in order to authenticate that you are a member of the Spence Community. To do so, enter your Spence username (for most students this is: first initial + last name + year of graduation) and the master password you were given by Spence at the beginning of the school year. After you authenticate, you will be automatically directed to the database you selected. You only need to authenticate once during a browsing session.

* The only databases that require a login other than your Spence Username and Password are Questia School and PebbleGo. To login to Questia use your full Spence email address as your username. Your password can be obtained by emailing Ms. Kane or Ms. Crow. Please email Ms. DiPaola for the login to PebbleGo.
