  • Cookies need to be enabled to access library databases remotely. If you are not sure if your cookies have been enabled, check it out.
  • If you have not changed your password recently and are denied access, you may need to clear out of your cache. To learn how to clear your cache, go to Off-campus Library Database Access page.

  • After you have done all of these and if you are still having trouble logging into Library databases with your NIS account, please contact the ITS Help Desk for assistance at (323) 343-6170. If you have forgotten you NIS username and/or password, you will need to visit the ITS Help Desk in person with your campus ID and proof of enrollment.
