Who can access this site
This library section is an internal resource for seminarians and staff of the Institute. The Free Resources page is open to anyone. EBSCO access requires connection to the diocese network.
Accessing each resource
+Library Catalog
The catalog is publicly readable. Visit the <a href="/library/catalog" style="color:var(--green);font-weight:600">Catalog page</a> for the link and search tips.
+EBSCO — on the diocese network
When you are connected to diocese Wi-Fi or on a device on the diocese network, EBSCO should open without a login. Visit the <a href="/library/ebsco" style="color:var(--green);font-weight:600">EBSCO page</a> to begin.
+EBSCO — from off-campus
EBSCO is licensed to the diocese IP range, so it will not open directly from home, a café, or a phone on mobile data. The simplest solution is to use the network at the diocese or the Institute.
+Free Online Resources
All resources on the <a href="/library/resources" style="color:var(--green);font-weight:600">Free Resources</a> page are open to anyone, anywhere. No login required.

Common problems
+"EBSCO shows a paywall / asks for credentials"
Almost always a network issue. Confirm you're on diocese Wi-Fi. If you are and it still fails, note the date, time, and exact error message and contact the Institute.
+"A link on the Free Resources page is broken"
Please email institute@rcdlc.org with the resource name so it can be fixed or replaced.
+"I cannot log into the Student Records portal"
For Student Records portal access issues, email institute@rcdlc.org with your full name and student ID.
