Off-campus access is available
to all current CSUS students, faculty, and staff to a wide variety of Library
electronic resources. Connecting to electronic resources from off-campus requires
authentication before access is allowed.
There are two methods of authentication:
(1) Authenticated access through the Library's Proxy Server and
(2) through the CSUS campus network. Both methods require a SacLink
username and password. A
SacLink Account can be created online or contact the University Help Desk
(ARC bldg. room 2005) at (916) 278-7337 or helpdesk@csus.edu
for assistance.
AUTHENTICATED ACCESS THROUGH
THE LIBRARY'S PROXY SERVER
- Go to the Library's
Database page
- Click on one of the
databases
- When prompted, enter
your Saclink UserID and Password
AUTHENTICATED ACCESS THROUGH
THE CSUS NETWORK
- CSUS students, staff
and faculty who use SacLink
Dial-In Services have full access to electronic resources offered
by the Library. Connecting to the Internet through SacLink Dial-In Services
provides authentication required for access to databases, e-journals, etc.
No additional authentication is required.
- CSUS students, staff
and faculty who use a non-CSUS Internet Service Provider (ISP) can use the
campus Virtual Private Network (VPN) to log into the campus network. VPN provides
an easy alternative to the library's proxy service for accessing licensed
resources provided by the library. To use the VPN, current CSUS students,
faculty, and staff will need to install the VPN software on their computer,
then login into the VPN whenever access to a database or electronic journal
is needed. An active SacLink account is required for logging into the VPN.
The VPN should work with a wide variety of Internet service providers (ISP)
and browsers.
Downloading and Installing
the VPN Software
NOTE: If a resource vendor has changed its IP addresses without notifying the Library, access to resources at this particular vendor's sites may not work with VPN. If this happens to you, please disconnect from VPN, restart your browser, and try again. Please also inform us about the issue, so we can update the campus VPN configration.
