Access VCU Libraries Resources from Off-Campus

You have access to library services and resources (including e-books, full text articles, and much more) without a trip to the library.

Just go to VCU Libraries and when prompted, log in using your eID name and password (the same as your VCU email).

For more information about or help with your eID, contact Technology Services.

Library Services

Students currently enrolled in a VCU distance education program are eligible for the same services as other VCU faculty, staff, and students. This includes Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Services (ILLIAD).

Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Services (ILLiad)
If you need articles, books, media, and other materials that we don’t own, request them through ILLIAD - our Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Service

Additional VCU Resources

The Writing Center
The Writing Center is another great resource when you're doing research and writing papers. At the Writing Center, you'll find peer-based writing support, with a primary focus on helping students become the strongest writers possible. Make an appointment to discover the benefits of having a conversation about your writing because your professor should never be the first person to read your paper.
Technology Services
Includes information about software currently available to the VCU community.
