Many library resources are already available online and faculty can add links to these resources in their course sites. Most electronic resources are restricted to current Wellesley College users. To get access to electronic Wellesley College Library resources from off-campus, you must use the links from Wellesley library pages so they include the library's proxy server which is used to associate and authenticate you as a Wellesley user. You may also contact the library at askus@wellesley.edu and we will help you find the resources you need, or for students working on a thesis, you can contact your thesis advisor for help.
To access e-resources from off-campus:
-
Login to MyWellesley and click on the Library tab

From here you can use SuperSearch or select the database you want on the Databases A-Z list and should not be prompted for additional authentication.

Please contact acquisitions@wellesley.edu if there is content you or your students need for the course and to which you do not now have remote access. Depending on what is requested, it may take several days to make it accessible so please give us as much advance notice as possible. Because of the current unique situation, it is not possible for us to digitize physical materials now. However, you should still send in your requests by emailing acquisitions@wellesley.edu and we will do our best to locate and license an electronic resource if it exists. You may also consult with your liaison librarians if no digital edition of a resource exists.
