How do I access Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) content?

Answer

To access Linguistic Data Consortium content, users must register an account with LDC using their Georgetown University email and have their account verified by Georgetown Library staff. 

To create an account and have it verified, please complete the following steps: 

Navigate to the user login page.

Select Create a New Account. 

On the Welcome to LDC page, select Accept if you agree with the user type screen. 

 

New Users Page
 

On the New User Registration page, use your GU email, and select Georgetown University Library on the Organization drop down menu. (Note: do not select Georgetown University Medical Center). Populate the rest of the form with your personal information for each of the required elements. 

LDC New User Registration

Once complete, select Create. 

After your Guest account is created, you will receive a confirmation email from LDC with a URL link to confirm your account. (Check your spam filter if you did not receive an email).

After registering as Guest, your account will automatically be sent to the Library's E-Resources Unit to verify your affiliation. Once the account is verified by E-Resources & Serials staff, your account status will be changed from Guest to Organization User within two business days. You will receive a confirmation email from LDC acknowledging your new User Status.
