How to use EC reference databases from off-Campus

Due to licensing agreements, access to some databases is restricted to Eureka College students, faculty, and staff. When such a restriction applies, the user is prompted to enter his/her EC login credentials. Each user is responsible for any activity with his/her own login account.

Common Login Issues

1. Your web browser must accept cookies (i.e. some authentication-related info) from the EC server. Otherwise, login will fail until you resolve this issue at your end.

2. If your home router or the Internet Provider blocks necessary access "ports", you will not be able to access online database pages. If this is the case, this issue must also be resolved at your end.

3. Your username (SONIS ID) is the sequence of characters 5 thru 13 of your library card number. It is also on your campus ID card. If you are a student or a faculty member who does not remember your PIN, you may request it via the SONISWEB Student or Faculty Portal via the "If you have forgotten your Password, please click here." link. Staff - If you don't have your PIN, please request it by contacting computer services.

4. If you have any issues with your login username/password, please contact EC Computer Services.

Your login expires when you close the browser. Please make sure to close all browser windows when you are done.
