All library locations on-campus are open to the public and offer access to public workstations, scanners, and collections. We have expert staff who are available to consult with you on research questions.

A sponsored Pitt computer account will provide a Pitt username and password. Sponsored account-holders have access to the EZProxy service that can be used to access library licensed electronic resources via the A-Z list of databases and PittCat (note: ignore the "sign-in" prompts within PittCat).Pro tip: accept all cookies when prompted to do so by specific databases and if barriers are encountered, try a different browser or clearing your browser history. 

A Pitt sponsored account is only one component of library access, however. In addition to the sponsored account, full access to library services (including the option to request/borrow materials) are available for those individuals with a current University of Pittsburgh affiliation/employment, Pitt email, and ID number issued through Panther Central. 

Please Ask Us if you have any questions about library access.
