Restrictions to on-site use:

There are one or two databases that are restricted to current students and faculty. These are noted in their descriptions on the Databases A-Z page.

Some library eBook functionality is limited to onsite visitors, including note-taking, bookmarks, and ability to download selections of the work.

Public-access computers at our libraries are first to serve the students, faculty, and staff of George Fox University. These primary patrons have priority and guests use the computers on a space-available basis.
