Off Campus Access to 图书馆 Resources

图书馆 Job Opportunities
 

Access to certain electronic resources is restricted to the 加州大学洛杉矶分校 community (currently enrolled students, 教师 & staff) due to licensing/copyright agreements with vendors and publishers. If you are using a computer on campus (such as those in the library and computer labs) you will be automatically connected to library e-resources; no log-in is required.

图书馆 Access From Off-Campus

When you access library electronic resources from off-campus, you need to use one of the following methods.

1.  Campus VPN  (Recommended)

Please use the instructions below to connect to the campus network through the VPN. If you have questions or need assistance installing or using the 加州大学洛杉矶分校 VPN, please call the ITS 帮助 Desk at 323-343-6170.

  • 导航到 http://myvpn.sotanomc.net  
  • When prompted for a username and password, log in with your MyCalStateLA ID username (not 电子邮件 address).
  • Download and install the appropriate version of the GlobalProtect client software. 
  • Run the GlobalProtect application. 
  • Select the 首页 tab. In the section labeled Portal, type: myvpn.sotanomc.net 
  • 点击连接. 

  • When prompted for a username and password, log in with your MyCalStateLA ID username (not 电子邮件 address). 

2.  EZProxy Login  (Default)

When you are off-campus and access the library's electronic resources, either through the A-Z数据库列表 or 搜索引, you will be prompted to login using the EZProxy screen (shown below). Login using your MyCalStateLA ID username and password.

     

请注意:

  • Place your MyCalStateLA ID account username (e.g. lsmith8) in the user name box. Do not include @sotanomc.net as part of your username.
  • If you don't know your MyCalStateLA username and password, please go to the myCalStateLA 页面 and click on "Forgot Password."
  • If you experience difficulty in recovering your ID username and password, please contact the ITS 帮助 Desk at (电子邮件保护) or 323-343-6170.

Known Access Issues

有时, you may experience challenges accessing a database, 一篇文章, 一本电子书, 或者流媒体视频. Listed below are current known access problems and suggested workarounds.

  • Some of our students and 教师 members, 主要是Mac用户, have been experiencing log-in issues when accessing EBSCO database articles from 搜索引 results. While we are working with 搜索引 and EBSCO database providers to resolve the problem, 你可以用这些 temporary workarounds before the login problem can be permanently fixed.

Trouble Accessing a Specific Database?

If you've been successful accessing other restricted 图书馆 databases with our EZ Proxy server, but are having problems accessing a specific database, use this 页面 to report your 数据库问题 or 电子邮件 us ((电子邮件保护)).

Trouble with Pop-ups?

If you have pop-up windows disabled on your browser, EZ Proxy will still work; however, 发现! and one or more of the databases accessed via EZ Proxy may not work. 发现! and some 图书馆 databases use pop-up windows as an integral part of their operating system. If you find yourself clicking a link but nothing happens, then suspect that pop-up windows should be disabled (e.g., installing a Google Toolbar will disable pop-ups).

Identity Protection Software Getting In The Way?

Identity Protection Software ( e.g., GhostSurf ) will modify the way your computer communicates with our EZProxy server. Identity Protection Software must be disabled before accessing the 图书馆 databases.

加州大学洛杉矶分校 Login Not Working?

If you are unable to log in using your 加州大学洛杉矶分校 电子邮件/login, there might be a possible issue with your account. Make sure you do not have caps lock on, that you have entered your password correctly. If you still cannot log in, contact the Information Technology Support 帮助desk at 323-343-6170 or stop by the 它帮助台 on the first floor of 图书馆 South for assistance during their open hours.
