As a researcher or student, you want to have access to as much information as possible. When you are on campus of the University of Twente, you automatically have access to journals, book collections, databases and platforms the University of Twente is subscribed to. However, as soon as you leave campus you will not be recognized as University of Twente student/staff anymore. To still make use of all subcribed resources, make sure you have one or both of the options presented below installed in your browser(s). Please note that a VPN-connection is not sufficient to get access to paid content. For using a VPN connection, eduVPN is recommended.
The off-campus access button allows access to content that the University Library is subscribed to. To start using it, do one of the following:
- Internet Explorer and Edge: right-click on the off-campus access button below and choose 'Add to favourites' or drag the button to the favourites bar.
- Firefox, Chrome and Safari: drag the off-campus access button below to the bookmarks toolbar. Make sure this toolbar is displayed and the browser accepts cookies.
The off-campus access button won't automatically show a notification when the visited page gives access to content the University Library is subscribed to. However, when access to certain content is suspected, one click on the off-campus button enables login using your Unversity of Twente credentials to access the content. The off-campus button and the Lean Library Plug-in can be used side by side.
