De La Salle University Library

1. I enrolled for residency this term to work full time on my thesis but I can't seem to access the electronic journal databases off-campus. It's saying that my patron privilege has expired. How can I have access again?
   
   As a matter of policy, students who are enrolled in residency are not granted the privilege to access the electronic databases off-campus. To avail of such privilege, students are required to pay for the corresponding library fee stipulated in the Tuition Fees Table at the Accounting Office. For assessment and other details, please proceed to the Information-Reference Section, 2nd floor of the Library building.
    
2. As an alumnus, how do I continue to have access to the De La Salle University Library's resources and facilities?
   
   Alumni are only allowed on-premise access to the library's resources and facilities upon presentation of a validated Alumni card. In the absence of such, alumni are asked to pay the visiting users' access fee. For information governing access to on-premise use of the library's resources, please read the Guidelines for Visiting user.
    
3. Who can have remote access to the electronic resources available on the library website?
