All require Internet access, and databases and e-journals require you to be part of the University network. NetAccount enables you to link into the University network off-campus. Staff and graduate students may have the alternative option of using Dial-in access. NetAccount operates a gateway between the Internet and the University network. Users run the NetAccount application on their computers to identify themselves to the gateway and are then allowed access to the University network.
Data passing through the gateway is metered and a charge is made to the user's account.
Access to the Internet is chargeable. Charges are per megabyte and depend on the location of the data. You will incur charges using some of the Library's electronic resources, charged items are indicated by a dollar sign. All students enrolled for the current semester automatically have NetAccounts and MailBoxes regardless of whether they have Logon IDs for any computer systems. Staff with the new ID cards can also register with NetAccount.
