Library Services for Online and Distance Students
The Library team is your academic support, connecting you to research resources, expert librarians, and lifelong learning. We are available for assistance online through chat, phone, or email. For research assistance, you can book a free one-on-one session with a librarian for personalized help.
Events & Workshops
Make appointments with Hannah, the Research and Instruction librarian, for dedicated one-on-one assistance.
VCSU students, faculty, and staff have access to a wide range of library resources, including articles, eBooks, streaming videos, and databases, even when they are not on campus. To access these resources remotely, use the URLs from the Library Catalog or Databases A to Z. These URLs include a proxy prefix that identifies you as a VCSU community member, granting you access.
When you select a specific database or resource to access off campus, an authentication window will appear when you click on the link. You will have the option to log in as an NDUS student, faculty, or staff member, or as a guest.
Choose the NDUS option, then log in using the firstname.lastname portion of your NDUS credentials and your NDUS password. Once you're logged in, you should be redirected to your resource of choice!
Enjoy free access to thousands of academic eBooks!
Need a physical item that the VCSU Library has but you cannot pick it up in person? We can mail it to you. All you need is to complete the Distance Loan Request form.
