Q. Why can't I access library databases?

Reasons you may not be able to access a database include:

We do not subscribe to that database

Please see the current list of available databases. We may not subscribe to the resource you are trying to access.

You may be able to get access to the resource through a interlibrary loan (ILL).

You are not affiliated with UH

Current students, faculty, and staff may access the library databases.

If you are not affiliated with UH you may access the databases in one of our computer labs (public computer use policy).

Off campus access

If you are off campus, you must first sign in using your CougarNet ID and password.

CougarNet password

You may need to reset your CougarNet password to access a database. After resetting your password, you will need to wait 30 minutes before accessing the database.

For help resetting your password, contact University Information Technology (UIT).
