Connecting From Off-Campus

Off-Campus access to library-licensed e-Journals, research databases and e-resources is limited to current UF students, staff, and faculty.

Virtual Private Network

Setting up the UF VPN is recommended if you are connecting from off-campus since it provides the smoothest and most secure way to access the UF Libraries e-resources.
