Off-campus access to databases and online journals

UMKC students, faculty, and staff may access the University Libraries' databases, online journals, and e-books from off campus. Guests may visit one of the UMKC libraries and use our online resources in person.

Two Ways for Remote Access:

    1. After selecting a database you will be prompted to provide your user name and password (Single Sign On).
      (Alternative method: enter your 9-digit UMKC ID number followed by the letter k (example: 0123456789k) and your last name.)
