Off-campus access

Many of our electronic resources, such as e-books, are available to UIUC students, faculty, and staff when using a computer with a non-campus IP address and require netid / login to access. Just link to them from the Biology Library or University Library Web sites and you will be prompted for your netid / login.

Methods and Protocols

Many of these electronic books are part of packages or individual subscriptions that the University Library subscribes to, and require netid login/password when using them on a non-UIUC Campus computer. Some electronic books are freely available. Management of electronic books is still a work in progress and locating titles may require a search in more than one place. Many of the individual e-book titles are findable via the Online Library Catalog or the Online Research Resources (ORR) database. Some titles can only be reached through a link to the package itself. In this guide when this is the case a link from the title to the package is given. Once there the individual title can be located. See the "Home" tab for more information.
