Whenever possible, access the Library's databases from the Databases A-Z list. Our friendly URLs will take you to the desired resource and recognize that you are an OpenAthens user. Another benefit of using our links is that once you are logged in, other resources automatically recognize you and will provide seamless access for the rest of the day.
When accessing a resource directly through a vendor website instead of through the library's friendly URLs, look for an institutional login. The exact wording may vary by database - it could say "access with single sign-on", "library or group", etc. You will need to search for the "Commerce Research Library" before being taken to the familiar OpenAthens log in screen.
This will only work for resources the library subscribes to. A few examples are below.
