The main reason you would be blocked from using the databases is that you are not enrolled in classes for the current term.

Our licenses with providers of these resources specify that only students taking courses at a Los Rios college during the current term and people currently employed by Los Rios CCD may access them. Students enrolled in a given semester are dropped from access soon after the term ends. If you are enrolled for a future term, access will be restored shortly before the term begins.

In addition, some databases listed on the SCC Databases page are only available to people taking courses or employed at SCC, so if you are affiliated with Los Rios but not SCC, you would be blocked from those.

Temporary staff and adjunct faculty are in a situation similar to students. Permanent employees have ongoing access until they leave Los Rios. Access to certain databases is provided to Emeriti Association members.

If you are currently enrolled or employed, but are still hitting an Access Denied error screen, please contact us for further troubleshooting.
