Online Resources

The majority of the resources listed are licensed for the use of KCAI students, faculty and staff. Most resources, when accessed from off-campus, will prompt the researcher for a user ID and password. For Artstor and NetLibrary, off-campus access is available only after the researcher utilizes a campus computer to create a personal account on the host site. The personal User ID and password then confer off-campus access. For all other resources, the User ID and passwords are created and maintained by the library staff and are specific to accessing online resources. These User IDs and passwords are shared only with current KCAI students, faculty and staff. (Your personal KCAI ID # will not give you access to online resources). If you have questions about the use of these online resources, please ask for help at the circulation desk, or phone the library at 816-802-3390.
