Shafer Library

Accessing Databases Off Campus Has Changed

Accessing Shafer Library's Article Databases from an off-campus or remote site has changed ... and hopefully for the better. Now, when you click on the title of a database, a UF Remote Access page displays whereby you type in your UFnet account information to authenticate.

Previously, off-campus users have had to use their library barcode number to authenticate in order to access the databases. This summer, a UF proxy was created to allow users to authenticate using their UFnet account information. By using this more familiar method to authenticate, off-campus users will be able to access library resources more simply.

However, for those times the UF proxy is not working, off-campus users can still authenticate through OPAL or OhioLINK using their library barcode. For more information about authenticating off campus, see Off-Campus Database Access.
