On & Off Campus Access

Use this Service

Electronic Databases provided by UNT Libraries can be accessed by any UNT student, faculty, or staff member from virtually any computer in the world.

Campus Access

Connecting to Electronic Databases on any of the UNT Campuses (Denton, Discovery Park, Health Science, or Dallas) is available via:

  • UNT Campus: Any wired computer in the libraries or on campus.
  • UNT Wireless Network: Access the campus wireless network. (Requires EUID/Password Authentication, See Below)

Off-Campus & Wireless Access

Most subscription based Electronic Databases will require you to login with your EUID and password.

Resources that Require Special Software

For a small group of products that are loaded on CD-ROMs, you must use a downloadable helper program. Individual resources will list this requirement in their descriptions.

Problems

If you have problems accessing Electronic Databases try the following.

  1. Test your EUID/Password, connection, and computer's settings on our Remote Testing Page.
  2. Verify firewall information and your status as it relates to our contracts.
  3. Check the description for any limits on number of "Simultaneous Users," or other notes about outages, etc. 
  4. Authenticate through the Campus VPN.
  5. Use our Ask Us service for help.
  6. Report a problem via e-mail.

Logging Out

Some subscription systems have a limited number of "simultaneous users" or have other unusual internal logging out requirements.  Because of this:

  • Whenever  you finish using an electronic product, look for a "log out" or "log off" button, typically on the right side of the screen.
  • Click on it to exit.  This frees up the product so others can use it.
