Which system am I using?
You may be using the Old LoudCloud if you see a purple/blue menu bar or if your url starts with
lc-ugrad3.gcu.edu, or lc-grad3.gcu.edu.
You may be using the New LoudCloud (also referred to as the LMS) if your menu dropdown is on the left side or if your url starts with lms-trad.gcu.edu, lms-ugrad.gcu.edu, or lms-grad.gcu.edu.
The GCU Library can be accessed directly at http://library.gcu.edu/ or several other ways, including:
- Library links can be located within LoudCloud.
Old LoudCloud New LoudCloud (LMS) - From within the GCU Portal by clicking the Library App.
- From the gcu.edu website by clicking on Students > Student Resources > Learning Resources. Once on the Learning Resources page, scroll down to locate the Visit Library link.
The Library Homepage
The Library homepage provides access to various tools, such as, Ask a Librarian, Webinars & Workshops, Library Tutorials, and much more. Accessing the Library homepage does not require you to log in. Once either Find Books & More or Find Journal Articles has been accessed, the Library may request login information in order to view the resources.
Log in with your GCU username or GCU email address and password. Once signed in, no other login is necessary to enter any of the individual databases. If an individual database requests a login, you should speak to a Librarian about how to proceed.
Alumni Access
All current GCU students can access the GCU Library. Students who have graduated will gain a limited alumni access through http://libguides.gcu.edu/alumni, but will not be able to access every Library resource.
