Accessing online resources from off-campus

Online databases and electronic journals subscribed to by the UST Libraries are licensed for use by the St. Thomas community ONLY.  Because of this restriction, we need to verify that anyone accessing these databases is a current member of the St. Thomas community.

• From on-campus, if you select an item from the Databases & Indexes pages, you will be connected directly to the resource.
• From off-campus, you will be directed to an intermediary screen and required to login with your UST username and password.  Once you are authenticated as a member of the UST community, you will be able to use the selected resource. You must change your password every 120 days (you'll be prompted to do this with a message at login).  For more information about claiming your email account if you are a new user, setting/changing passwords, etc., see the IRT accounts/passwords page.  If you have any problems logging in to a library database from off campus, you can contact the IRT Tech Desk at (651) 962-6230, or one of the library reference desks.
• Find out how to use ebooks from off-campus.

• Keffer Library in Minneapolis, 651/962-4664. 
• O'Shaughnessy-Frey Library in St. Paul, 651/962-5001.
