Library Policies

This private internal guide is for Darling Library Staff reference. These library policies inform the practices of the Darling Library of Hope International University.

Research Databases

 Access to Research Databases such as ProQuest and EBSCOhost are restricted by license agreements with vendors. In most cases, the library pays for subscriptions based on our reported number of FTE (full time equivalent) students. It is our responsibility to provide access only to HIU students, staff, and faculty.

Anyone using a computer on the HIU campus will have access to these databases through IP recognition. Remote access is restricted to HIU students, staff, and faculty through EZproxy.

Remote Access

Remote access to research databases is restricted to those with HIU network accounts.

Remote access to research databases is provided to:

  • Students
  • Staff
  • Faculty
  • Dorm Residents
  • SALT students
  • Dongseo/ESL students
