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 a VPN. The VPN may also work in cases when EZproxy does not.

EZproxy

1. Start at the All, Catalog, Databases, or Online Journal Titles page, or follow a link.
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. Go to OIT's VPN page for software installation.
2. When logging in, select Library Resources Only in the 'Group' and sign in with your NetID and password.
   
   * Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is required.

A quick way to determine if a resource is accessible via Duke Libraries is to use our Library Access Button Bookmarklet. It is a proxy bookmarklet, meaning whenever you find a resource you're interested in online, simply click the Library Access button in your browser's bookmark menu, and it will connect to our catalog and let you know if we subscribe to it.
