Accessing Library Resources Remotely
To access the Online Library Resources from Off-campus, all students, faculty and staff will need to login to verify their connection with Lone Star.
The LSCS Libraries Authentication Page will appear when you click any link for Library resource such as a database, video, or ebook.
Students and faculty can use one of two methods to login:
- 14 digit library barcode number from the back of their Lone Star College ID. (Online students can request a library barcode number through the Library Barcode Form.)
- myLoneStar Email Address and Password
Please note: the myLoneStar username and password login method will not work if the resource is purchased by an individual campus. If it has the name of a single campus next to the database, you will need to login using your Library barcode number. For LSC-Online, this only applies to Swank.
