To access the databases
1. Log in to Atlas: http://atlas.valenciacollege.edu
2. Click Search the Library (upper right corner on the MyAtlas tab).
When Atlas is not working, you can click the green Databases box below to log into the databases. You will be prompted to log in using your Borrower ID and PIN. Your Borrower ID is the number on the back of your Valencia ID, and the PIN is the last four digits of your VID number. Make sure you also select "Valencia College" from the dropdown menu. From there, you can select the "Databases A-Z" option, find the database you want, and connect.
Clicking the database links within this guide without logging into Atlas will require you to log in using your VID.
