Remote Access

When the library subscribes to a database or an electronic journal, we must sign a license agreement with the vendor of that resource. The agreements provide that content can be served to any computer connected to the WesternU Network, but that remote access via a proxy server may be granted to authorized users only“Authorized users” are WesternU’s currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff.

The Library’s license agreements with vendors of electronic resources also stipulate that it is the responsibility of individual users to ensure that electronic resources are used for personal and/or educational non-commercial purposes without systematically downloading, printing, distributing, retaining substantial portions, or sharing of password information.

Logging into the proxy

WesternU students, faculty, & staff: Use your WesternU username (without @westernu.edu) and password

Clinical Faculty: Use the username and password provided to you by the library. If you do not have a username and password, submit a Remote Access request.
