Access to Electronic Resources: Off-Campus

Off-Campus Access to Electronic Resources

The Library website provides seamless access to all the electronic resources 24/7. When you click a link from the databases page, or a link to articles, e-books, or e-journals via JCU Discovery, you will be prompted to log in to EZproxy with your JCU username and password (see image below). After logging in, you will be automatically redirected to the resource you want to use.

Once you are logged in, you will have access to the electronic resources while your browser session is open. If you close the browser and then restart it, you will have to log in again.

If you are logged in your JCU email account you will not have to authenticate yourself again.

Troubleshooting

Off-campus access to the online databases, e-journals, and e-books is restricted to current JCU community:

  • Students (both degree seeking and study abroad)
  • Faculty (full time, adjunct, and visiting)
  • Staff

If you are receiving an error message like this

 

it  may be because you do not fall into any of the categories listed above. If you feel you have received this message in error, you can

  • check the credentials you have entered
  • try, if possible, with a different device
  • try changing the password recorded in your device
