What do I do if I select a database and am asked for a user ID and password? Many of the databases are accessible off campus with an ID and password. From the page above, specific IDs and passwords are required which library card holders can obtain from the Library Reference Desk or find on the ANGEL Resources page. MCC students and employees can also login to the databases off-campus from the Off-Campus Access Menu page with their campus login (same username and password you use to login to computers on-campus).
