Off-Campus access

If you are doing research from OFF campus (home, coffee shop, etc.) then you must login before you can access any of our electronic materials. You have 2 options – the dedicated UF VPN, or the library proxy server:

VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN)

Free software that keeps you logged in – this is the best option for lengthy research sessions.

UF PROXY SERVER

Great for fast searches!

CONNECTING FROM ON CAMPUS?

If you are connected to any UF network, you should be able to access our eResources directly.

Not in Gainesville?

How to borrow materials.

Off-campus access to eResources is restricted to UF students, faculty, and staff.
UF Libraries purchase special licenses for electronic items such as eJournals and articles, eBooks, databases, and other digitally available materials, so off-campus access to these materials is limited to the students, faculty, and staff of the University of Florida.
