Activate Your UAS E-mail Account
When you register for a class at UAS, the Computing Center automatically gives you an e-mail account. If you have problems activating your account, please contact the Help Desk toll-free at 1-877-465-6400 or by e-mail at helpdesk@uas.alaska.edu, for log-on instructions.
Here you can find the online catalog of the UAS Ketchikan Campus Library, as well as databases made available to UAS Distance Education Students by UAS and by the State of Alaska. These databases provide abstracts, and frequently the full text (the entire article), of thousands of journal and newspaper articles. You will be required to provide a user name and password, often your UAS e-mail user name and password, to enter these databases. For further information, contact the Ketchikan Campus Library or Egan Library.
Request Materials
If you'd like to request books or journal articles from the UAS Ketchikan Campus Library, please fill out this form. Books checked out to you from the Ketchikan Campus Library must be returned (or renewed) by the due date; copies of journal articles are yours to keep. Please honor our 28-day checkout period. A return mailing label is provided for you convenience. You must cover the cost of the return postage.
If neither the Ketchikan Campus Library nor the Egan Library owns an item you request, we will do our best to borrow it from another library through our Interlibrary Loan Department (ILL), and have it sent directly to you. If we borrow a book from another library on your behalf through our ILL Department, please return it to us in a timely manner. Copies of articles are yours to keep. Allow two weeks for receipt of ILL materials. Articles are often received within 7 days. Very current materials and videos, however, may be more difficult to obtain.
