Studious students will continue to study while off campus during the Thanksgiving break. A common question about this time is “can I / how do I access library resources when I’m off campus?” Here are some answers:
Books
You can search catalogs (Colgate’s, ConnectNY, WorldCat) from off campus. You can continue to request materials from ConnectNY and WorldCat (via MyLoan) as well. You can also request materials to be retrieved from LASR. Loaned and retrieved materials will be held for pick-up at the Case-Geyer circulation desk for a limited time after the break.
Journal Indexes, Databases and Articles
Off campus access to journal indexes, databases and articles is dependent on the resource’s vendor policy. Information regarding resource availability from off campus is found on resource launch pages that are linked to from the libraries’ Databases A–Z page. The statement “Remote Access Allowed” is on every launch page, and is usually followed by “Yes” or “No”. If remote access is allowed, a login page will appear when you click on the link-button that states “Connect to: some resource.” At that point you enter your network credentials, and a connection should be made. Details about proxy access to library resources are on the “connect from off campus” page.
Happy Thanksgiving!
