accessing online library resources from off-campus
spacer

All currently registered Stevens students, faculty, and staff are eligible for access to Library subscription databases. Your Stevens Pipeline username and password are required for authentication to access them from off campus.

Instructions to assist you with accessing online resources from off campus can be found at the
Library Databases Information Technology Itwiki page.

The instructions will help you set up a virtual private network (VPN). By using the VPN your remote network connection will appear to be from a Stevens network address. Your computer must appear to have a Stevens network address to access proprietary, commercial databases and resources that are available to the Stevens community. Operating systems covered in these instructions are: Windows Vista, XP and 2000, Mac OS X and Linux.

After you have configured the VPN, you will need to log in using your Pipeline username and password. Keep in mind that you will need to reactivate the VPN each time you want to access online resources, so you may want to create a shortcut on your desktop.

*PLEASE NOTE: Access to the network via proxy server is no longer supported at this time. You will still be able to use your proxy connection, but may have trouble accessing some resources, especially with Internet Explorer. Those users should download the Firefox browser to access resources, or switch to a VPN connection.

If you have reviewed all of the IT instructions and still cannot connect, please notify an Information Technology consultant at (201)-216-5500 or helpdesk@stevens.edu.
