Off-Campus Access to Licensed Resources

Current students, faculty, and staff may access most of the library's licensed research databases from off-campus.

Be sure to start your research at the Library website!

• To access Library Databases and Online Journals from off campus, click on the link to the database or journal.
• Next you should see the Proxy Server Login screen that asks for your Kalamazoo College username and password.
• After entering these, you will be authenticated as a Kalamazoo College student, faculty, or staff member, and you will be forwarded to the database.

If you have trouble accessing a library database from off campus, please contact the Reference Department at 269 337-7152 or reference@kzoo.edu.

Troubleshooting

• Has your Password expired? If you need help with your knet password, please see the Help Desk page on Password Help
• Off-campus access works best with Mozilla or Internet Explorer. Other browsers may not work with off campus access (AOL or Netscape, for example).
• Update your browser. The latest version of your browser will work best.
• If you are having trouble accessing a database, make sure popup windows are enabled (essential for Readers' Guide Retrospective).
• Some databases require you to enable cookies or Java scripting to access them.
• If you simply cannot access a database from one browser, try a different browser.
• If you need more help, contact the Reference Librarians (269 337-7152 or reference@kzoo.edu).
