Off-Campus Access to Electronic Resources

The UO Libraries provide access to a wide array of databases, electronic journals, and other electronic resources for the campus community. Eligibility for access to a specific resource is based upon the terms of the licensing agreement signed by the library, which limits off-campus access to current UO students, faculty, and staff. Students, faculty, and staff connecting to electronic resources from off-campus will need to authenticate themselves before access is allowed. Learn more about distance education services.

Authenticated Access Through the Library's Proxy Server

• When a database or electronic resource link is selected, patrons are taken to a library Web page that verifies their eligibility to use licensed resources. Patrons will be asked to provide their name and UO ID.
  

Authenticated Access Through the UO Campus Network

• The campus WebVPN allows students and faculty to establish a connection to the campus network through their Web browser. After logging in through the WebVPN, users have full access to the library's licensed resources.
  
• UO students, faculty and staff who use the Information Services' modem pool have full access to electronic resources offered by the library. Connecting to the Internet through the campus modem pool provides the authentication required for access to databases, ejournals, etc.
  
• UO students, faculty, and staff who use a non-UO Internet Service Provider (ISP) can use the VPN software to connect to the campus network. While logged into the VPN, your computer will appear to be directly connected to the campus network, so you will have access to licensed resources without having to authenticate yourself for each resource or make changes in your Web browser.
