If you are a student or faculty member at Brandon University, you don't need to be on campus to use the library's resources. When you click on the database or ebook that you need, you'll see a white screen asking you to log in if you are not on campus. Once you log in, you should be automatically connected with the resource you clicked.
To log in, you will need your Brandon University username and password - the same username and password you use to log into the Brandon University network when you're on campus. If you have not claimed your username and password or you are having trouble logging in with those, you should contact the Brandon University Help Desk (Phone 571-8500 Monday -Friday 8:30AM to 4:30PM). You can also claim the id yourself.
