Accessing Electronic Resources?

You can access thousands of e-journals, e-books, databases, and more through UC San Diego Library.

For on-campus access, make sure that you are connected to the UCSD-Protected wifi.

To access library resources from off-campus:

Option 1: Connect through UC Library Search

Sign in to UC Library Search with OpenAthens for seamless access.

Option 2: Sign in at a Publisher or Resource Site

  • Look for 'Sign in Through My Institution' or 'Access via OpenAthens'.
  • Select 'University of California San Diego' and choose OpenAthens Federation if prompted.

Option 3: Connect through Campus VPN

  • Download and open the VPN AnyConnect 
  • Select "2- Step-Secured - all thru UCSD" when prompted for connection type
  • Approve your sign-in through Duo

For help with troubleshooting, visit our Connect to Library Resources page.

Frequently Used Resources

WSJ logoWall Street Journal
UCSD gets the current day's content of the WSJ via WSJ Proquest and Factiva (links below), or sign up for WSJ.com. Use the Proquest interface if you want a precise search for a topic; use WSJ.com or the Factiva version if you want to access to graphics and downloadable audio content. Proquest offers article alerts to your email and can search back to 1980. If you need access to WSJ content older than that, or full page images, use the ProQuest WSJ Historical database.


Regional "Books of Lists" & Business News Sources

Many North American regional business publications have list features in their weekly publications that are devoted to the top companies or organizations on a particular topic or industry, like top women-owned businesses, top accounting firms, largest employers in... (name a city)., etc. These weekly lists are compiled annually into a Book of Lists for a city or region.

There are two main publishers of these weeklies, and their contents are incorporated into at least one of our subscription resources, Business Journals (Bizjournals), MasterFile Premier and Gale Business Insights. Southern CA local publications are listed below. You'll have to experiment to find similar publications in another region.

Note: not all of the most recent BoL issues are available yet. They will be updated here as they become available. Use the "latest rankings articles" in the meantime.
