Happy Holidays!
If you're like me and trying to search the databases from home this weekend, you may have noticed some subtle changes to the UA Libraries page.
In order to access the databases from home, please consider establishing a VPN (virtual private network) as this ensures that you will have access to every database from home. Detailed instructions are available at: http://www.uakron.edu/libraries/info/connect/#vpn
You may have already discovered that clicking on the database name without first establishing a VPN connection will result in taking you to the vendor's password page. You will be unable to log in on this page.
If you are unable to set up a VPN, your next best bet would be to go to the Ohiolink database list, and click on the "off campus URL" link for the database you want to use. This will start the authentication process that many are already familiar with.
We hope this is helpful information as you finish up your research this weekend!
