Journals

Those with a CSU eID can easily connect with library resources from off-campus.

• Visit https://lib.colostate.edu/ and navigate the website as usual.
• When you select a licensed resource (e.g., database, e-journal, e-book, etc.), you may be prompted to authenticate as a currently enrolled student, faculty, or staff member. The library system automatically determines whether login information is necessary.
• If prompted, please enter your eID and password.

Step 1. Verify that you have a current CSU eID and password.

• Learn more about eID, or email help@colostate.edu for assistance.

Step 2. Ensure that you are logged out of any and all VPNs.

• You must disconnect from Pulse Secure in order to use library resources.
• Exception for CCHS employees: The solution for CHHS employees using work desktops or laptops is to connect to Citrix light version (in-browser version) and then access library resources. Additional inquiries must go through chhshelpdesk@colostate.edu.
