Library Information for Online Learners: Password Help

An information guide for students enrolled in online or off-campus courses through Montana State University Billings

Accessing Article Databases and Other Library Accounts

The Library has many resources to help you with your research needs. You will need to know your username and password to access many library resources from off-campus.

 

Library Databases

The Library has access to many electronic databases that contain full-text scholarly articles and more. When you are using a computer from off-campus to access one of these databases, you will be prompted for your NetID and password. If you are using a campus computer you do not need to log into the database.

 

Library Account

The same username and password that you use to access our databases will also allow you to access your Library Account. This account is used to renew MSUB books, review your checkouts, and place holds on books.

 

Interlibrary Loan

Log into your Interlibrary Loan (ILL) account using your NetID and password if you would need an item not owned by the MSUB Library. You can request books, articles, or media using your ILL account and the ILL staff will find a library who will lend it to us. You can speak to an ILL expert at 406-657-1666 or ill@msubillings.edu.

 

If you have any problems or questions concerning your Library accounts, please contact the Ask Here Desk at 406-657-1662.
