George A. Spiva Library

Remote Access



SWAN can be accessed from any computer that has an Internet connection. However, to access the library databases such as Lexis-Nexis, Academic Search Premier, and JStor from off-campus, MSSU users must enter thru the EZproxy by submitting their MOSO ID and Password when prompted.


Your ID or Username is the first half of your university email account.

Faculty/Staff Example: doe-j
Student Example: doe-j001

Your password is the 6 character PIN # for students and the Novell password for faculty and staff.
