ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥appOnline Databases
We are pleased to provide you with access to our library resources for educational use through our ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥app Portal. Since our licensing agreements only allow for educational use, we have established a process that will allow you access using a wilkes.edu login during semesters in which you have students assigned (fall, spring, summer). Preceptors will need to request access to use the electronic databases. Please contact our Office of Experiential Education if you would like this access and you will be given an @wilkes.edu email address which will be active during times when you are precepting one of our students. This will enable you access electronic books, journals and some databases licensed by the school, preview is . This should help you support the students' learning if you do not already have access through personal or employer-sponsored accounts.
When you do not have a scheduled student, you will lose access to the databases, but can request it again once you have another student. Your login will remain the same for future semesters. By accessing our resources, you attest that you agree to the terms of these licensing agreements. Any non-compliant usage violates campus-computing policies and may result in loss of university computing privileges. If you have any problems or questions, please contact our Office of Experiential Education.
