Many databases use passwords .
For others, you need to use a proxy server to access them off-campus. A list of Library passwords and instructions for using the proxy server are available. Keep in mind that passwords may change, so check the list for updates if you have problems. You will need a campus computing account to use the proxy server or access the passwords list. Library Services for Users at a Distance Reference Librarians are available to answer reference questions by phone or email.
