Off-campus Access

Almost all Library databases can be accessed from off-campus. The easiest way to do this is to use links from the Library website. You will then be prompted for your CNetID and password to authenticate yourself as an authorized user.

If you find sources through Google Scholar or other search engines, you may not automatically get access to Library resources. IT Services has created the ProxyIt bookmarklet for these situations.

Chicago Jazz Archive Quick Links

Introduction

Interested in Chicago's jazz history? Want to learn more about family members who played jazz here, or owned clubs? This guide is a great place to start your research. It features materials available in Chicago area libraries, and Chicago jazz-related materials available elsewhere as well (see the Libraries and Archives tab on the toolbar above.)

The center and right columns of this page contain quick links to sources useful for researching Chicago jazz; some are free, some are subscription sources.  If you don't have an i.d. and password to use the Library's subscription sources, check the web or ask the reference librarians at your college, university, or local public library whether that library subscribes. For instance, the Chicago Public Library's list of online sources is at http://www.chipublib.org/cplbooksmovies/research/online_research.php  Quick Links to specialized sources are in the bottom box in the center column.  

In the column on the left you'll find quick links to resources in the Chicago Jazz Archive, which is part of the Library's Special Collections Research Center (SCRC); those links are all free.  SCRC collections are non-circulating, and are available for public consultation.
