What is Remote Access?
Remote access is using the library databases from another location, such as your home or workplace. You can do library research at any time, even in the middle of the night.
What Do I Need?
To access the library's databases from off campus, you need to know two things:
- Your BHCC library barcode
- Library account password you (provided at the library Lending Services Desk).
Where Do I Find My Library Barcode?
Your library barcode number is on your student ID card.
If you have the OneCard, your barcode number can be found the back o fyour card.
If you have the new student ID card, you can find your barcode number on the front of your card.
What Do I Do With This Information?
When you try to use the library databases from home, you will see a page that asks for your library barcode number and password. Type these in the boxes and press Submit.
If you log in once, you should stay logged in for a little while. However, if you leave the computer for a long period of time, or if you shut down or put your computer to sleep, you will need to sign in again.

If you are unable to log into the databases from home, please come in, call, or email us ASAP.

Usually we can solve the problem quickly, but we won't be here if you're doing your research very late at night or very early in the morning, so it's best to get things fixed as soon as you can.
