Accessing Wesleyan Databases from Off Campus
Current Wesleyan students, staff, and faculty can access the Library's online
journals and subscription databases from off campus. To do so, go as you
normally would to the Indexes & Databases page, the
Journal
Locator, a
record in the CTW Online Catalog, or other link to an online
journal, database, etc and click to
access it. You will be prompted for your Wesleyan email username and password. Enter
those, and you're in. And until you close and reopen your browser, you will not
have to log in again for other journals, databases, etc. For this to
work, your browser must be set to accept cookies. If you get an error message
saying that you need to enable cookies, you will need to change your browser
settings:
Internet Explorer - Under "Tools" in the main menu, select
"Internet Options." Click the tab for "Security." Set the
"Default Level" to "Medium" or lower. Netscape -
Under "Edit" in the main menu, select "Preferences." Click
on "Advanced." Set to accept all cookies, or cookies that get sent
back to the originating server.
One other point: On the Indexes & Databases page, several indexes are
labeled as "OCLC." These require you to log in with your Wesleyan
email username and password. This is a different login from the one that allows
you to access databases from off campus, so you will have to enter your email
username and password a second time to access OCLC databases.
