Due to licensing restrictions, off-campus access to databases is generally reserved only for current LSU faculty, staff, and students. On-campus access should be available to anyone connected to the LSU Wireless network. Because public patrons do not have access to LSU Wi-Fi, LSU Library houses a few public access computers in room 241. Non-affiliates and public patrons who are able to visit in person will have full access to databases using these computers. We also have a list of open access databases that should be accessible to everyone from anywhere (see below). The online library catalog is also open to everyone.

LSU Libraries does take donations as long as they are within the scope of our collections and fit the university's curriculum. To find out if your books are a good fit for our library, please contact one of our subject specialists (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/about/staff/specialists) . For most book donations, donating to the Friends of the LSU Library Book Bazaar (https://lib.lsu.edu/about/friends/bazaar) might be a better option.
