Library services & resources for Distance Education programs

Off-campus access to online resources

Most databases and other e-resources, including journals to which the Library subscribes online are accessible from off-campus to Fresno State students, faculty and staff.

Access to these resources is provided via the library's website.
You will get a popup window asking for your campus email username and password, which will validate your use of these resources.
