Each of the Five Colleges (Smith, Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and UMass/Amherst) maintains separate online resource subscriptions .
Off-campus access for each institution is limited to the current students, faculty and staff of that institution. But, on-site use of online resources by on-site visitors (including Smith-users) is generally allowed.
To access an online resource not held by Smith: you (as a Smith-user) generally need to be on-site at the specific institution holding the online resource .
Please note these exceptions:
- If registered for a course at another Five College campus, you, as a Smith student, can also access that campus’ online resources as a current student of that institution.
- If the link to the resource says "FC" (Five Colleges), this is a resource anyone in the Five Colleges can access.
- If you, as a Smith user, need access to an ebook, you can request that Smith place an order for a Smith-specific ebook copy: Book & Media Suggestion form
