Remote Services & Access: eBooks

• Search the Shaw University Libraries catalog.
  • Shaw Libraries has access to hundreds of thousands of ebooks, which will appear in your search results.
    • To access one of these ebooks, simply click the button.
    • To include or exclude ebooks from your search, use the Format filter on the left side of your search results list, and either check or uncheck the ebooks box:
• Or go straight to a specific ebook database by clicking one of the links below.
• For tips on searching, see the Get Started with Research page.

When accessing online library resources such as databases and ebooks from off-campus, you will first be taken to the Proxy Login page. Here you will enter your Shaw University credentials:

• For Students:
  • Use your student ID# for the username, and the associated PIN as the password. (These are the same credentials you use to get to Bearsnet, the same password you use for your @bears.shawu.edu email.)
• For Faculty and Staff:
  • Use the prefix only of your shawu.edu email address as the 'Username' (e.g. 'yourname' in yourname@shawu.edu)

You must be a current student, staff, or faculty member of Shaw University to be granted access.

Please contact us if you have any trouble with this process.
