Access URL:   http://www.stjohns.edu/central   (Note: login username/password provided by C. Russo at Orientation)

Check news and Information on faculty tab for lectures, professional development opportunities and events.

UIS:  You can access the UIS through

• St. John's Central  UIS tab
• Main university website www.stjohns.edu

NOTE: The University UIS system requires that you initially enter some information in order to get past this personal information page in the UIS system.  The request to supply an EN (emergency number) is aimed at students and faculty who spend time on our bricks & mortar campuses.  If you do not plan to spend time on-campus, we suggest that you check the box next to the phrase:  "I choose not to provide an EN number."  After you submit that checked-box, you should be able to click on the other tabs.

Problems with St. John's Central:  Click on the "General Help" (to the right of the login info) to get help with common problems.  If none of the solutions listed address you issue, use the "Technical assistance form" link on that page.  Please be sure to indicate in the email that you are a CAP Faculty member.  Please be descriptive and specific about what the problem is, what you have already tried as solutions, and attach screen shots* of any errors. It may also be helpful to indicate what Operating system you are using, and what browser you are using.

LIBRARY:

Access URL:  ALWAYS use main website  http://libraries.stjohns.edu  (rather than the Library Tab in StJCentral)

Databases: Search by preferred database name using the Databases A-Z link, or Browse Resources by Subject: defaults to databases covering that subject discipline, but also offers e-Reference, websites and electronic Journal access.

Access from off campus: Whenever you click on a subscription database from home (from the Databases A-Z, or Browse Resources by Subject), you will encounter a red and white "proxy screen," input the same username & password you use for SJCentral (above)

Problems with LIBRARY resources:  If you are having problems accessing library resources that you cannot troubleshoot,  please email Prof. Shaughnessy, (shaughnk@stjohns.edu).  Please be sure to indicate in the email that you are a CAP Faculty member.  Please be descriptive and specific about what the problem is, what you have already tried as solutions, and attach screen shots* of any errors.
