If you connect to the Internet through the UC Berkeley network (in a campus office, residence hall, etc. or via AirBears2), you should be able to access all library resources. 

If you connect to the Internet through CalVisitor, you will be prompted to authenticate in order to access licensed library resources. You may also use the campus VPN client to access licensed library resources.

If you are off campus, UC Berkeley students, faculty and staff may access UCB Only materials via:

• Library Proxy
  • You no longer need to configure a browser to use the Library Proxy.
  • When you click on a resource link found in OskiCat, via "Start your search" on the Library home page, Databases A-Z or eJournals (UC eLinks), you will be prompted to authenticate. You may authenticate via CalNet, or via your PIN / Cal 1 card number.
  • When you click on a resource link found via a search engine or a non-UCB Library webpage, you will need to use a browser bookmarklet to access the licensed resource.

• VPN (Virtual Private Network)
  Download the campus VPN client to access licensed article databases, eBooks and eJournals.

  • These resources require VPN for off-campus use:

    • BrowZine for iOS and Android

    • Luna Insight

    • Java client in UC Image Service

    • Loeb Classical Library Online

    • Connect function in EndNote

• Conditions of Use and Licensing Restrictions for Electronic Resources
  It is the responsibility of individual users to ensure their use of electronic resources does not breach the terms and conditions specified in the license agreements.
