When you are working from a computer or other device that is not on the USMA network, but wish to search one of our databases, start by going to our Scout search tool. Once there, sign in (by selecting the "Sign In" link on the top right of that page) using your West Point O365 credentials. Once you are signed in, you can use Scout - the search box near the top of the page - to do a search of most of the Library's resources, or you may choose the link in the top navigation bar for "Databases" to choose a specific database in which to search. Since you are signed in, the resources that are available to cadets, staff, and faculty through our subscription databases will be available to you. If you forget to sign in, when you select an article or eBook to view, you will be prompted to sign in to access the item.

 

If you encounter difficulties with this process, or find an article or eBook that you cannot access, use our chat service to let us know about the problem, and we'll help you!
