Remote Access

Remote access to our research databases is available to Kwantlen students and employees. You must start your research from the library home page. Once you try to access the full text of an article or book, you will be prompted for your KPU login. If you have already logged into a KPU service, you may already be authenticated for database access so will not be prompted again.

The login information is the same as for all other KPU secured resources like registering for a course:

• For Students:

  Username =Your KPU email 
  Password = Same Password Used for all other KPU secure services like to Register for Classes Online

• For Staff, Faculty & Administrators:

  Username = Your KPU email
  Password = Same password used to log in to office computers
  ***Note: Library databases are unavailable from a VPN connection. Please use a direct internet connection for their use***

Troubleshooting tips

• You must have 'Cookies' enabled on your browser. This will ensure that the system will recognize you after you enter your login credentials just once despite how many databases you use during your browser session.
• Library databases are unavailable from a VPN connection. Please use a direct internet connection for their use.
