Accessing Library Resources off Campus

• Access databases from the A to Z List, or this course guide, not from a bookmark.

The library uses a tool called EZ Proxy, a web proxy server that allows access from outside the library’s computer network. To access a particular database or journal, simply click on its name from the AtoZ list or a results link from OlinScholar. If prompted, enter your Olin login and password (the same login credentials you use to log into your Olin computer).
