Torreyson Library: Off-Campus Access
The Torreyson Library website gives access to a plethora of library materials. Access to most resources (library databases, eBooks, online full-text journals, etc.) is available when you are doing your research off-campus.
- Most library resources are reserved for UCA students, faculty, and staff and you will be asked to log in when using resources away from campus.
- When you select a database from the library’s A-Z Databases a login screen will appear. Log in using your myUCA username and password.
- Once logged in, you will be redirected to the selected database and will remain logged in until you close your browser, even if you switch databases.
Note: When you are on campus, our system will recognize you and grant immediate access.
If you have difficulty with this process, please call the Reference Desk at (501) 450-5224.
Online Learning Readiness
The eLearnReady survey is a free tool for helping students determine their readiness for online learning. The 43-question survey (approximately 10 minutes) measures strengths and weaknesses in nine different areas. It can be taken online or on a mobile device.
Once the survey is complete, students will receive a graphical report that includes study tips and videos for being a successful online learner. This report can be shared with instructors as well, who can use this information to further support their students.
