Accessing Databases from Off-Campus

VCSU students, faculty, and staff all have access to our databases, even when they are not on campus. There is an extra step to get to these databases: logging into our EZproxy system.

When you choose a specific database or resource you want to access off campus, the EZproxy login will pop up when you click on the link for that resource. 

There will be the option to log in as an NDUS student, faculty, or staff member, as well as a guest option. Choose the NDUS option, then log in using just the firstname.lastname portion of your NDUS information and your NDUS password. Once you're logged in, you should be redirected to your resource of choice!
