Q. I am unable to access resources in the Gale databases. What should I do?

If you are an active College of the Mainland (COM) student, faculty or staff your login should work. You use the same login as you would for other campus services such as Outlook, Teams or D2L.

We are happy to troubleshoot if you are having a problem, you can ask us via live chat, email, call or more from this page.  

Our database providers restrict use, so if you are not active College of the Mainland (COM) student, faculty or staff, you will not be able to login. 

We do collect resources that are open to all. You can find some links to journals, streaming media and more from our Open Access pages, or you can try the Open Access section on any subject guide.
