Accessing PVAMU library databses

 

If you are a registered student with Prairie View A&M University (including the College of Nursing), you already have access to the PVAMU databases.  While you're on the CON campus, you will automatically have access to the databases.  Go here to find out more about accessing library resources from off campus.
