Remote Library Access for All SHRP Student, Including Distance Learning Students

Accessing UMDNJ Library resources remotely, from a non-UMDNJ facility

In order to access restricted UMDNJ Library resources from your home, office or other non-UMDNJ site, you will need to use the UMDNJ remote access service. As part of your class registration process, an account has been created for you for UMDNJ Library remote access. This account consists of a Username and a Password:

Username: your last name

Password: the last four digits of your UMDNJ ID Number

For example, John Miller with an UID Number a00256789 would have a Username of miller and a password of 6789.

*Check the latest news about the University Libraries transition to the UMDNJ ID Number.

For those of you with hyphenated last names or last names containing an apostrophe, use the entire last name and drop the hyphen or the apostrophe. For example, Sherry Smith-Jones would have a Username of smithjones. Mark O'Rourke would have a Username of orourke.

You Will Also Need:

- A computer running Windows95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP or Mac OS.

- A web browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape or an ISP-provided browser such as that used with AOL.

- A working ISP connection. This can be a network connection outside of UMDNJ, a modem dial-up/PPP connection, a cable modem or a DSL connection.

- You will need to enable "cookies" on your web browser. Most people already have cookies enabled. If you get an error message telling you that you need to enable cookies, please go to http://www.umdnj.edu/librweb/access and click on "Frequently Asked Questions" for instructions for enabling cookies on your browser type.

After you have determined that you have the required hardware, software and account information, most of you are ready to start by going to either http://www.umdnj.edu/librweb/databases.html or http://www.umdnj.edu/librweb/about_fulltext.htm. When accessing UMDNJ Libraries online resources from an off-site location, you MUST begin from a UMDNJ Library journal or database list.
