The Databases (Articles & More) available to BSC Library patrons provide several magazine, journal, and newspaper indexes for finding relevant articles, two literary encyclopedias, and an e-book database called netLibrary. Many of the articles in the indexes are available in full-text format which can then be printed or e-mailed. If using a computer off-campus, you will be required to login to whichever licensed resource you choose. To do so, you will need to enter your library barcode number (on your library card) and your password (your last name, in lowercase letters). Example: 23103000287468     doe.

For BSC students and employees, your BSC photo ID is your library card. In order to access the magazine indexes, and to place holds and interlibrary loan requests online, however, you must have your card activated. If you are having trouble accessing the online indexes, please call the library at 1-800-445-5073, or locally at 224-5450, or send us an online question, and we'll explain the login procedure. If you are an off-campus student in need of a library card, please visit our Off-Campus Services webpage and Order Your Card Online.

The ODIN system does NOT include books from the Bismarck Public Library. If you would like to search the Bismarck Public Library online catalog, visit their Online Catalog.
