There's an app for that!

Access My Library is a new app that enables you to search all of the library's Gale e-reference books and databases from your iPhone. These include Global Issues in Context, Poetry Criticism Online, Twayne's Authors Series, Scribner's Writers Series and a host of e-reference books that are invaluable for World History research. I have tried accessing other databases with my phone in the past and found the process to be frustrating because I was directed back to the database vendor's website for authentication. This is not the case with Access My Library. You simply download the app (be sure to choose the school edition), and select Maryland. You will then see a list with Bryn Mawr as an option. Click on Bryn Mawr, and when it prompts you for a password use the same one that you have used in the past to access the Gale databases. If you can't remember check Database passwords for home use (community password protected)
