Can I utilize the databases at the University of Pittsburgh?
Answer
To access the e-resources of another library such as the University of Pittsburgh, you would need either:
a) an institutional login through formal affiliation
b) to physically visit the library in person and utilize an on-site Pitt IP address on any computer/access device
c) request access to specific items via interlibrary loan
Typically, the license agreements that libraries are bound to explicitly limit e-resource access to institutional affiliates with institutional logins, or physical on-site visitors. Libraries would be in violation of their license agreements to enable direct e-resource access to other parties in a remote manner. The best way to access other libraries' e-resources is a physical site visit.
