ROBERT W. WOODRUFF LIBRARY IMPLEMENTS REMOTE ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC RESOURCES

September 19, 2005

The Robert W. Woodruff Library announces the implementation of new technology for access to eResources anywhere at anytime!

The introduction of remote access will enhance the Library's ability to provide access to its electronic database resources on a "24 x 7" basis. The new technology, facilitated with the use of EZproxy software, enables current faculty, staff, and students of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) to use virtual resources from wherever there is an Internet connection. By establishing an account to authenticate eligibility for remote access, faculty and students can search and retrieve most of the Library's electronic full text databases and journal articles from off-site places such as a home, an office, or dormitory room.

To establish a remote access account, users must create the account from a networked computer at one of the following campuses: Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse, Spelman, Morris Brown, ITC, or the Robert W. Woodruff Library. The following information is necessary:

User's name

Local mailing address

Local phone number

Current campus email address

Unique login ID and password created by the user

Please note the remote access account is for the scholarly, research and information needs of an RWWL authorized user only. The account may not be shared with others. Unauthorized use and extension of access to RWWL eResources to anyone that cannot be validated as current faculty, staff or students may result in suspension of library privileges. For questions on creating a remote access account please contact helpdesk@auctr.edu.
