Databases and other electronic services labeled “PPL or OSL only“ may be accessed by registered users of either Providence Public Library or the Ocean State Libraries (OSL) only. OSL is a consortium of Rhode Island public libraries, formerly known as the Cooperating Libraries Automated Network (CLAN). These databases are restricted to use by PPL or OSL/CLAN cardholders due to license agreements with the vendors of the databases. You will be asked to enter your PPL or OSL/CLAN library card number before connecting to these databases. For more information about Providence Public Library, see their Web site at http://www.provlib.org/. For more information about OSL, including member libraries, see the OSL website at http://www.oslri.org/. To obtain an OSL card, please see a librarian at your public library. Providence Public Library cards are available to residents of Providence only. If you do not have a PPL or an OSL card and would like to use a “PPL or OSL only” database from within the URI Libraries, please ask a reference librarian for assistance. |
