ACCESSING THE ELECTRONIC LIBRARY FROM OFF-CAMPUS

In order to be able to access the Electronic Library away from the campus you must have a current account. An account is created for you when you first register for classes and is considered current as long as you are registered for classes during the current semester. The IT Help Desk, Student Records, or the Reference Librarian can also create accounts. Only current students, staff, and faculty have off-campus access to licensed databases found in the Electronic Library.

When first created, your account is given a randomly generated password. If you want to change your account password, use the Manage Account link found on the myRLC page login with your current user name and password and then create a new password using the 8 plus 1 criteria (at least 8 characters and at least 1 number). Do no start your password with a number or special character. When you access the Electronic Library away from the campus you will use the same information you use to log onto your Blackboard, Online Student Records, and Warrior Mail Accounts. Your login name is your last name, first initial, and first 4 numbers of you date of birth. Your password is one that the computer generated or the one that you set up. You will be asked for this information when you click the links within the Electronic Library.
