Lone Star College students, faculty, and staff can access the Library's online resources from anywhere that they can access the internet. Online library resources include library databases, e-books, and streaming video collections. Watch the short video tutorial or follow the steps below to access the online resources.
Video: How to Access Library Databases
Steps: How to Access Library Databases
Click on the Link to a Library Database or eBook. This might be a link posted in your D2L class, a link in the Library Catalog, or on a Library Research Guide.
Discovery Search
Not sure where to search searching? Try starting with Discovery search, which is available on the LSC Libraries Homepage (the search box located directly under the photograph on the page.)
Discovery searches across most library resources at once, including books, articles, and video.
Search by Subject
You can also search a specific database collection by visiting LSCS Libraries Research Databases page.
The Library subscribes to over 100 different library databases, or collections of library resources. Depending on the subject that you are researching, you might need to search different library databases.
To locate a database useful for your research, you can browse alphabetically by title, or select a subject (e.g. Biology, History) or type of information (e.g. Articles, E-books) using the drop-down boxes.
You'll see a list of databases with descriptions. Click on the title of a database to search that resource.
Once you click on the link to the database or resource, you need to show that you are a current Lone Star College student. (Just like showing a physical library card if you want to check out a physical book.)
A box will pop up asking you to choose an option to login: myLoneStar email address and password, or 14-digit library barcode number.
