Although the MJC Library would like to offer open access to all of our research resources, license agreements with the publishers of our databases and eBooks require that only MJC students, faculty, and staff be given off-campus access to these resources.
Once you click on the name of a database, you login just like you do for your MJC email or Canvas courses.
