Introduction
This research guide for Master of Engineering students is designed to help you find resources for your capstone projects. It is by no means an exhaustive list of everything the library has available. Due to the specialized nature of each group's projects, we recommend that groups make appointments with librarians if they are not finding what they need with the resources listed.
Off-campus Access
Before you can access UCB Library resources from off campus or via your laptop or other mobile devices, make sure you have configured your machine using one of two simple methods (Proxy Server is the quickest and easiest):
Proxy Server
After you make a one-time change in your web browser settings, the proxy server will ask you to log in with a CalNet ID when you click on the link to a licensed resource. See the setup instructions, FAQ, and Troubleshooting pages to configure your browser. Make sure you check the proxy configuration before you start researching.
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
After you install and run the VPN "client" software on your computer, you can log in with a CalNet ID to establish a secure connection with the campus network.
