Off Campus Access

Current Duke students, faculty, and staff have access to electronic library materials from off campus.

Most databases, eBooks, and other electronic resources use EZproxy authentication. Some databases require the use of the VPN.  VPN may also work in cases when EZproxy does not.

  2. A pop-up window will ask for your NetID and password.  Once logged in, you will be able to access any library resources online for the rest of your browser session.

VPN

  1. Access VPN
  2. Select 'Library Resources Only' as the 'Department' and sign in with your NetID and password.
  3. If this is your first use of the VPN, the software will automatically download to your computer.
