How do I login to the library's databases?
Answer
When accessing library resources, you’ll be prompted to log in using an OpenAthens Library Account. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to request one. Access depends on your bureau and office location—USPTO staff are not eligible.
If you encounter login issues:
- Try resetting your password
- Use the link from the Databases A–Z page
- Clear your browser cache and restart the browser
If problems persist, please report a database access issue for further help.
