For off-campus access to library-licensed e-Journals, research databases and e-resources, use either:
UF VPN - or - the library proxy server (on the remote logon page)
When you see in your search results, click for access to digital
full-text material.
Know of a great resource that is not on this list? Let me know by leaving a comment!
If you want to suggest the library purchase a book, journal, or other resource, use this Purchase Request form.
Access to electronic resources should be seamless from any UF networked computer, although some computers in Shands may require remote access.
Eligibility for Access: UF students/faculty/staff members with a valid UF-ID/Gator1 Card
Remote Access for all E-Resources: http://cms.uflib.ufl.edu/offcampus
Some databases, journals and resources listed in this guide are freely available, and some are paid subscriptions by UF. If you can't access full-text, search the library catalog for the book/journal title to see if the library has a subscription.
If the library does not have access to the full-text of an article, you can request a free copy via InterlibraryLoan. The full-text will be emailed within 2-3 business days. Books and other items can also be obtained via ILL, although they take longer to process.
Articles requested as "Rush" (needed for clinical emergencies) can be delivered in 4 hrs or less.
Do NOT pay to order articles without consulting with your liaison librarian!
