How do I access the library databases off-campus?

Answer

You can access the library's databases on and off-campus in many ways. Here are two easy ways:

Click on the Databases link in the middle of the library homepage.
This will direct you to the A-Z Databases page, which is a list of all of the library's databases organized in alphabetical order.
- The directory has limiters you can use to help you limit to databases by subject, type of source, or brand name. You can also run a search for a specific database by name.
- Heavily-used databases are listed as Popular databases on the right side of the list.
- Each database contains a description to help you decide if it's a good fit for your need.
Click on the name of the database you want to search in.
When you click on the name of database to search, you will be prompted to enter your MC Portal username and password.
After you log in, you can start searching.

From the Merced College website, click on the MC Portal link located at the top right of the website.
Enter in your username and password when prompted.
Once you are logged into the MC Portal, click on the "Library" tab located at the the top of the page.
