Off-Campus Access

Option 1 (recommended): Use the SLU VPN client with your SLU network ID and password and get access to all of the library's electronic databases, electronic journals and RefWorks.

Option 2: Access to the Library's databases and selected journals is available via the Library's Off-Campus Database Access page. Access is available for all SLU faculty, staff and students.

RefWorks from Off-Campus:

There are two ways to get access to your RefWorks account from off-campus.

Option 1: Use the SLU VPN client
with your SLU network ID and password and get access to RefWorks - along with all of the library's electronic databases and journals. 

Option 2 :  E-mail either Rhonda Courtney (ODY Library) or Eric Williams-Bergen (Science Library) and request the RefWorks "Group Code".  You will be prompted to enter this code when trying to access RefWorks from off-campus.

Details: To access all electronic content available on the St. Lawrence University Libraries web presence from off campus, SLU students, faculty and staff should use SLU's Virtual Private Network (VPN) client. SLU's VPN client provides access to all on campus work spaces-public drives such as S, P, and T, software, and folders on the hard drive of an office computer-and by virtue of this provides access to all of the electronic content made available through the library. This means content made available through ODYsseus, Journal Finder, online dictionaries and encyclopedias, or any of the Indexes and Databases on the web site. Complete instructions for configuring the VPN client onto a computer are available from the Information Technology web site, under Resources and VPN Access. On this page there are also recommendations for seeking technical help with the VPN client from IT.

If you cannot run a VPN client on your machine, or in the circumstance where you are off campus, you can search many of our databases and much of our electronic content here. You will need to key in your SLU network ID and password when prompted.

To report any problems you may have please contact the Library Systems Office at either malzo@stlawu.edu or (315) 229-5316.
