Information about how to access online databases, eBooks, eJournals and other library resources that are available to current EKU Library students, faculty, and staff.

Login to Access Databases

When accessing the Libraries' databases and other online resources, you will be prompted to log in with your E-Key (EKU email) to make content available to you that is not free on the open web.

E-Key login examples:

Once you login, you should be seamlessly connected to our online resources.

If your login does not work, first contact IT to make sure your E-Key information is up to date.  If IT confirms that your login information is correct, and you are still having problems logging in, please contact us so we can troubleshoot this problem.
