Q. I have a visiting scholar coming and will be staying for 6 months. Wonder if she can get online paper access off campus? It seems a netID account

A Net ID is required to access databases from off campus. For more information on a Net ID, see the Division of Information Technology.  

A visitor can use any of the materials in the library, including our databases.  

The following affiliates are eligible to borrow library material:

• active SBU affiliated faculty / staff possessing an SBU photo ID card
• participants in Special Programs, Institutes or Workshops sponsored by the University
• Emeritus faculty
• If you are not associated with any of the affiliations listed above, you may be eligible to borrow through one of our ‘Courtesy’ Borrower programs.
