Use the the A-Z Database List Link 
Access databases from off-campus by using the A-Z Database list. This is the comprehensive listing of SCC Library databases and the most reliable point of access.  

Can't connect to a database
If your privacy settings are too high, it can block the authentication process needed to allow you to access databases from off campus.
In Internet Explorer try going to Tools -- Internet options -- then clicking the "privacy" tab and lowering the setting (often this will be something you can drag up and down).

Internet Explorer Version 7
IE 7 is more restrictive by nature. If you are using IE 7 try lowering your security settings if you have problems accessing databases from off campus.
You can also check to see if Integrated Windows Authentication is enabled. To do this select Tools, Internet Options, click the Advanced Tab and scroll to the Security heading. Make sure the Enable Integrated Windows Authentication option is checked.  

Firewalls
Firewalls can cause problems accessing databases from off campus. With a firewall running on a particular pc, you generally have to cut the whole thing off or know how to configure the firewall to allow access to specific internet addresses. You may need to turn off your firewall in order to access some of the library databases.

AOL Users
AOL and other web browsers can affect the authentication process. Try opening Internet Explorer while you are connected to AOL and working through Internet Explorer.

Add On Toolbars
Try removing any "add on" toolbars (like Google and Yahoo). You should be able to right click by the tool bar and uncheck any add on toolbars that may be loaded on your computer.
