These instructions apply only to people who have valid NYU Medical Center IDs. If you are not a member of the NYU community, we advise that you subscribe to a commercial Internet provider. There are many Internet providers in the business and we are cannot make recommendations. This document explains how to connect to Medical Center computer resources from your dorm room, home, lab, or office. This document does not provide details on how to reach specific library resources, but rather how to get general access to the networks through which library resources are available.

They may also be cheaper. Network connections do not require modems. Depending upon the type and model of computer you have they may require a special network card. The following explanation is only an outline of important points. Procedures and policies are subject to rapid change.
