Grantseeking Databases
Logging on from home or work?
You can log into almost all of the databases listed below from outside the library using your library barcode number. If you don't have a library card, you may register for one online.
Please make sure that you are accessing this page via http://www.carnegielibrary.org/ and NOT clpgh.org. Click here to correct.
Those databases specified with "No Remote Access" must be used from a computer inside the library. "Remote Access (CLP Card)" databases are only accessible with a Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (CLP) library card. Click here if not a CLP cardholder.
These databases, valuable for grantseekers, are available only onsite at the Foundation Center at the Main Library in Oakland. We recommend that you call us to schedule an appointment for a one-on-one session with a librarian in the Foundation Center. Our phone number is 412.622.3158.
