No matter where you are, as long as you have access to an Internet connection and you can get to our library website, you can use our online databases.

If you dial in using the Gustavus modem pool provided by the college, you can access our databases without logging in. Broadband users and those with other internet service providers must authenticate by logging in to the proxy server. This does not require any modifications to your web browser settings.

Log in using your:

• Username: The 14-digit barcode number from your valid Gustavus ID (located on the upper left corner)
• Password: Your last name OR the first 8 letters of your last name (not case-sensitive)

• Enter your barcode number (the 14 digit number beginning with 2011 on your Gustavus Adolphus College ID) and password (last name), then click on "Login."
• For users with barcodes issued earlier than 2005, passwords MAY be the FIRST EIGHT LETTERS ONLY of your last name.
• Do not check the "Using a proxy" box unless it is appropriate to the type of internet service you are using (such as AOL).

Note: This was implemented in summer 2005. If you were accessing the Gustavus databases via the previous proxy set-up, you need to disable the browser configurations required by the old proxy server.

Most problems occur when the barcode on your Three Crowns card does not match the number in your library patron record. This is very easy to fix! If you have problems logging in, please:

• call the library during business hours (Circulation desk: 507.933.7558; Reference desk: 507.933.7567)
• instant message a reference librarian
• e mail e-resources@gac.edu
