Off-Campus Access to Licensed Resources

Current students, faculty, and staff may access most of the library's licensed research databases from off-campus. (Note: SciFinder Scholar can be accessed only on-campus.)

To access licensed databases from off campus, click on the link to the database you want to use. Next you should see the Proxy Server Login screen that prompts you 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 requested. If you have trouble accessing a library database from off campus, please contact the Reference Department (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 Reader's 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 (337-7152 or reference@kzoo.edu).
