Library Services for Online and Distance Students

All Simmons users can access any of the Library's resources from anywhere. Simply log in using your Simmons account details to read, watch, or download content for later.
 
All library resources are accessed in the same way: through the user authentication service administered through Simmons Technology and accessed using your Simmons email and password.
 

 Simmons Authentication

Use any of the library search tools to locate items of interest. When you click on something you want to access, (articles, e-books, databases etc), you will be automatically prompted to log in using the general Simmons authenticator. You may need to to confirm using the Shark-Pass smartphone app. After you log in, you will be able to access the content. The login screen looks like this.

 

 Troubleshooting

If the login isn't working because of a password or username issue, you can get support from Simmons Technology: Access and Password Management.

If a link is broken, or the content is otherwise inaccessible for reasons other than a login issue, you will need to contact the library directly to report a problem. Use the chat button on this page, or send us an email: library@simmons.edu.
