Distance Learning and UF Online Students enjoy the same library privileges as on-campus students.

This guide shows how you can access many of the resources and services that the libraries have to offer. We hope that you will be able to make full use of the UF Libraries to support your coursework at UF.

For information on services for distance learners please visit the services for distance patrons web page. 

Distance learners can access library resources and services with a GatorLink account.

Using your GatorLink username and password, you will be able to access library resources off-campus.

There are two options for connecting: 

1. The UF VPN (Recommended)

2. The Library Proxy Server
