Whether you are writing a thesis, dissertation, or research paper, it is crucial to access prior literature and research findings. Academic research databases make it easy to locate the literature you are looking for, and UNT Libraries<\/a> is an excellent start for your research. UNT Libraries have great\u00a0subscription-based databases and other online resources that are fully accessible to all\u00a0current\u202f<\/em>UNT students, faculty\u00a0and\u00a0staff members\u00a0from virtually anywhere in the world. Subscription-based databases consist of published journals,\u00a0reports, newspapers,\u00a0magazines, documents, books, image collections, and many more. Libraries subscribe\u00a0to\u00a0and provide these resources for their patrons.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the pandemic sticking around,\u00a0many\u00a0students, faculty, and staff members are trying to access electronic resources from off-campus for their research assignments.\u00a0When working on your research off-campus\u00a0you might\u00a0encounter an article\u00a0or other resources that are of your research interest, but when you try to access it, the resource is behind a paywall. If you are\u00a0faculty, staff or a\u00a0currently enrolled student, then you will be asked to log in using your EUID\u00a0and EUID password to access most of the subscription-based electronic databases.\u00a0But if you need many\u00a0electronic resources\u00a0from the\u00a0UNT libraries databases for your research assignments, then UNT has various proxy access tools that may help access those materials from off-campus.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I need to access electronic resources, one method that I find convenient is connecting through UNT\u2019s Virtual Private Network (VPN). UNT’s VPN is very beneficial and\u00a0reliable\u00a0if you need to access\u00a0electronic\u00a0resources that are only available on the UNT Network. You can simply download and install the AnyConnect VPN client on your personal device and log in using your EUID and EUID password. You can find information on the installation of AnyConnect VPN: https:\/\/it.unt.edu\/installing-vpn-client. It is easy to use, and once you are connected to VPN, you can access the library’s electronic resources just like you would\u00a0using\u00a0UNT library computers. Some other options for Proxy access tools that UNT provides are Bookmarklet,\u00a0EZProxy\u00a0redirect extension (Chrome), and link builder. You may find more information on these library proxy tools:\u202f\u202fhttps:\/\/library.unt.edu\/proxy-tools\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
