Network Connections

If you have a laptop, you can access the SU network from ethernet connections in study rooms through out the library or via the SU wireless network. Lemieux Library is a part of the campus-wide wireless network, which allows network access from all classrooms, common areas, and open spaces on campus. The Library installation includes 27 access points covering open areas, meeting rooms, and the Library stacks. The wireless network can be accessed via a laptop with an 802.11b-compliant wireless network card.

Off-Campus Access

Lemieux Library's catalog is available to all via the web. Most of the Library's other online resources are available from off-campus via a proxy server with the use of an active SU Network ID and password. (For help with SU email accounts call 206-296-5571, send email to helpdesk@seattleu.edu, or check Information Technologies' online email information.)

To find articles by searching our library databases:

  1. Go to our Databases by Title or Databases by Subject pages.
  2. Click on the database link.
  3. Use your SU Network ID and password to connect to the library's proxy server.
  4. You should now have access to the database and can begin searching.

If you have problems accessing resources from off-campus, please contact Reference, 206.296.6230, libref@seattleu.edu.

Lemieux Library also provides SU patrons online access to their individual library account information (items checked out, unpaid bills, and holds) plus the ability to renew materials already checked out. Access to these services can be established by clicking on " Your Library Account " located in the upper right-hand region of any library catalog webpage. Logins require patron name and university ID number preceded by two zeros (9 digit number).

Lemieux Library's Interlibrary Loan Services issues a PIN (personal identification number) to patrons receiving PDF documents which have been posted for their access on the web. Email notifications for these electronically obtained documents contain the individual's generated PIN and instructions on how to access documents. PINs can be changed upon the patron's request. (Contact the ILL office at 206-296-6359 or by email at ill@seattleu.edu.) IDs for this service are the same as university email IDs: including the domain. (ex. patron@seattleu.edu)
