Access to online resources from off campus
When you are off campus, use the tips below to access licensed online resources via the proxy server. The proxy server lets you log in with your NetID and AD password to access licensed resources.
- Turn off the Virtual Private Network (VPN) or set to "Tunnel All" !The Virtual Private Network allows you to operate within the campus network from off campus, but it can interfere with library resource access. If you encounter problems, either change the configuration to "TunnelAll" or disconnect the VPN.
- Add "Discover UIUC" to your Google Scholar Library LinksGoogle Scholar can generate "Discover" menus from our institution's OpenURL link resolver. To set this up:
1) Go to Google Scholar "settings."
2) Click "Library Links."
3) Enter "University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign" into the box and click the magnifying glass or hit return.
4) Select "University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign - Discover UIUC full text."
The "More" link under each item in Google Scholar search results will now offer a "Discover UIUC" option for each item, so you can find our licensed full text.
Read more about the Discover service. - Citation LinkerFind online articles with a DOI or citation. Full text links will prompt you to log in with your netID if you are off campus. If no full text is available, you'll be able to place an Interlibrary Loan request from the menu.
- Proxy prefixIf you already have a direct link to an online resource, try pasting it after the 'equals sign' in this URL: http://www.library.illinois.edu/proxy/go.php?url=. If the University of Illinois has online access, and if the proxy configuration has been set up, you'll be able to log in and access the full text.
