This box will appear when trying to access Asbury's resources from off-campus. Use your Asbury student log-in information (username & password). After entering this information, you will be able to search Kinlaw Library's databases, Asbury Scholar, the library catalog, and access Kinlaw Library's resources online.
We have a variety of resources available to our on and off campus students, including:
Asbury Scholar is a one-search box that gives a point of access to most of Kinlaw Library’s print and electronic resources. It is the most comprehensive way to search Kinlaw Library's resources. It works by searching most of Kinlaw Library's individual databases and its library catalog all at the same time. You can use it to find print books, eBooks, electronic scholarly articles, and more resources. As an Asbury student, faculty, or staff member, any resources you find through Asbury Scholar are free for you to access. This is a great way to find scholarly sources because most of the resources you find through Asbury Scholar will be scholarly, academic sources.
Credo is Kinlaw Library's reference database. You can use Credo to search for encyclopedia, dictionary, and other reference-specific articles covering a topic. Credo is good for getting a general overview or a definition of a topic but it does not necessarily contain peer-reviewed articles like Kinlaw Library's other databases.
Asbury University is a part of a reciprocal borrowing program through the Association of Christian Librarians.
