Accessing Databases

Ryan Library subscribes to over 80 Reference Databases.  These subscription-based resources provide online access to journal and magazine articles and/or citations. 

You can access these databases from many places on the Ryan Library home page, including:

  • Choose a specific database from our alphabetical list of All Databases.
  • Choose all of our EBSCO databases by using the search box in the Articles tab under Quick Search Tools.
  • Choose "Research Guides" and select a discipline or course to see recommended databases.

If prompted, simply enter your PLNU network ID username and password.     

Here is an example:

     Username: jsmith1997

     Password: your usual PLNU network password

Note: If you are a guest in the library and wish to use a database, see a librarian for assistance.
