Accessing Library Resources Remotely

To access the Online Library Resources from Off-campus, all students, faculty and staff will need to login to verify their connection with Lone Star.

The LSCS Libraries Authentication Page will appear when you click any link for Library resource such as a database or ebook. Students and faculty can login using their 14 digit library barcode number from the back of their Lone Star College ID. If they do not have a library barcode, they can also login using the alternate link under the barcode box marked "myLoneStar Username & Password Login"

(Please note: the myLoneStar username and password login method will not work if the resource is purchased by an individual campus. If it has the name of a single campus next to the database, you will need to login using your Library barcode number).
