Articles and Databases

Access to almost all of Butler University Library’s online research resources is provided through IP authentication.  

• When on-campus, access should be seamless, and off-campus access is routed through a sign-in process with Butler University credentials. When accessing off-campus, use specially formatted library links from the library website, LibGuides, and Canvas.  

• To bookmark pages or articles in online resources look for a “persistent” or “static” URL in the database itself, as the address in the browser bar may contain session information, and may not lead to the same page again.  

• Many databases offer formatted citation generation (in MLA, APA, etc.) but double-check them against a style guide as sometimes they may not match perfectly.
