Off Campus Access to Electronic Databases
Off-Campus Access to Electronic Databases
Alvernia College students may access all electronic databases from off-campus with a single login procedure. The login system, Web Access Management (WAM), eliminates the need to use a different password for each database vendor.
Authorized users will need three items of identification in order to login: Alvernia College I.D. name and number and a PIN (last four digits of the college I.D.). For those who are unable to access the databases, call or visit the library circulation desk (610-796-8223).
After the login procedure, all of Alvernia's subscription databases can be accessed.
Login Procedure
1. Access the library resources page at http://www.alvernia.edu/library/resources.htm
2. Select a database.
3. Enter your name and number as they appear on the front of your Alvernia College I.D. card and your PIN.
4. Click on the “Submit” button.
Note: If you are unable to login, try this trouble-shooting guide.

APA Guide to Electronic Sources and DOI's
From Librarian Leon Weber:
We developed a guide highlighting the APA changes for listing references accessed from library databases. Print copies are available in the library. An electronic version can be accessed from the Library Citation Guides web page http://www.alvernia.edu/library/guides/citation.htm
The new APA guidelines are open to interpretation about how to list the source of library database articles that do not have a DOI. Two options, listing the database or the publisher home page URL, are illustrated in this guide for students. Please let your students know if you have a preference that you require on the references page.
