Continuity of Horn Library Services - Spring 2020 Semester

Absolutely! Contact your Library Liaison or email research@babson.edu to request assistance. More resources can be found on the Instructor Resources page of this guide.

As of March 17th, the library will be closed per the federal government’s limit on gatherings over ten persons. The use of the Library will be limited to small study rooms available to any faculty needing the space and IT resourcing to deliver courses online. Card access will be required for entrance into the library for those needing the study rooms or IT support.

Yes, for most resources for current Babson students, faculty & staff. Capital IQ restrictions remain and Bloomberg is not available from off campus, but research librarians would be happy to help you find alternative resources. Please be sure to use the links on our site as they will authenticate you as a Babson user.

As always, Alumni should see the Library Services for Babson Alumni guide for access to off-campus resources for alumni.

Please contact research@babson.edu with any technical issues you may have.

Here are a few troubleshooting tips to try:

1. Current students, faculty & staff - make sure you're using the links to the databases from the library site. These links authenticate you as a Babson user on the backend. This is especially important when access our online resources from off-campus. Alumni, be sure you are using the off-campus links HERE.
2. Try clearing the cache or history in your browser. This simple fix eliminates most issues.
3. If you're trying to access Capital IQ, know that access on your own device is restricted to students currently enrolled in these approved courses only. Some excellent alternatives to Capital IQ that you can access from anywhere are Standard & Poor's NetAdvantage and Mergent Online.
4. Contact a Librarian for help at research@babson.edu

It’s best to look for a permalink option instead of pulling the URL from the address bar of your browser. This can look different in each database. For general linking guidelines, see our Canvas Help guide. Any specific questions can be directed to your Library Liaison or to research@babson.edu.
