Library Access and Services for Distance Students

Off-Site Access to Electronic Resources

When attempting to access the Library's electronic resources from off campus, you will be prompted to sign in with a barcode and PIN associated with your Library account. Your barcode is the entire number located at the bottom of your Library card and your PIN is the first three letters of your last name.

Most off-campus login prompts will look like this:


A few electronic resource platforms, however, require an additional step on the login screen:

1. Type “Union Presbyterian Seminary” in the "Find your organisation" search

2. Select Union Presbyterian Seminary from the search results.

3. In the Username and Password fields to the left, login with your barcode and PIN as usual and click Sign in.

If you attempt this process and are still experiencing trouble, please contact our Director of Public and Electronic Resources, Ryan Douthat, at (804) 278-4217, or rdouthat@upsem.edu.
