LibGuides: Library Guide for Illinois State Geological Survey Staff: If You Are Off Campus

ACCESS ONLINE RESOURCES FROM OFF CAMPUS

When you are off campus, the tips below will help you access licensed online resources, access full text from a direct link, lookup full text from a DOI or a citation, and access our licensed full text resources from your citation manager and Google Scholar.

Set the Virtual Private Network (VPN) to "Tunnel All"
or turn it off and use Easy Search or DOI Lookup instead!

If you experience problems even with the "Tunnel All" setting, turn off the VPN. Library lookup tools like Easy Search or the DOI Lookup will route you through the proxy server for access.

Full text lookup with Easy Search
Enter an article title or DOI, and follow the "Get PDF" or "Get Fulltext" links in matching results. This ensures recognition as a University of Illinois user for access to licensed online resources.
Add our "Library Link" to your Google Scholar account
Enter "University of Illinois" into the 'library links' search box, click the magnifying glass, and select "University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign-Discover Full Text". Google Scholar search results will include working full text links for resources licensed by the Library.

Add the Proxy Bookmarklet to your browser
Proxy prefix
If you already have a direct link to an eresource, append your URL to this proxy prefix.

Book Delivery for Field Station Staff

Staff at INHS field stations can have books delivered to the nearest I-Share library for pickup.
Request items from the University Library or I-Share catalogs, and a pop-up menu allows you to select any I-Share institution as your pickup location. Check the map below to find a nearby location. You will need a valid iCard to pick up materials.

I-Share Libraries Map
There are I-Share locations statewide, which field station staff or others living outside Champaign-Urbana may find more convenient than our campus locations. Use the map to find a location near you.
