Accessing Library Databases Off Campus

Accessing library databases off campus?

Piedmont Tech students and employees are able to use these online library resources from off-campus. If you are not on campus, you will be asked to enter a username and password to use the databases. For the username, enter your college P number. Use your 6-digit birth date as your password (see example below).

PTC students and employees may use Library Resources such as eBooks or Journals even when the Library doors are locked! In addition to the printed books that are offered at our library locations, PTC also offers thousands of full-text eBooks and journal articles.
