Off-Campus Access When off-campus (at home or traveling) you may access the libraries licensed databases, electronic journals, and electronic books. Points to consider:

• Your University Internet ID is the key to remote access. VPN will not give you access to most resources.
• MNCAT is freely available and will provide solid links to the items it lists.
• Links on Library Web pages will provide good access.
• Google Scholar. You can maximize its value by either:
  • Setting your preferences there to University of Minnesota
  • or by using a Library Link to access it.
