Q. I am not a Rice student. Can I use databases like Proquest and ECCO?

You may use the library's databases from the public computers located near the Reference Desk, on the first floor of the library.  However, due to licensing restrictions, off-campus access is not available to non-Rice users.

If you know the name of the database that you would like to search click on the dark blue "Databases" link on the library's home page and type the name in the search box.  You may also want to browse through the A-Z list.

If you're not sure which database would be most appropriate for your research check out the library's research guides.
