Are you looking for a specific journal title? Search the Catalog to find which journals, magazines or periodicals in our print collection and which individual volumes we own.

Trouble with Access to Electronic Resources

We use OpenAthens to authenticate to GALILEO databases, electronic journals, eBooks and other licensed electronic resources. You will be prompted to login using your SWAN username and password. You will only need to login once very eight hours when accessing multiple resources. However, if you clear your cache or change browsers you will need to go through the login process again.

Use the Electronic Resources at Clayton State guide for help with signing in to our electronic resources.
