Access to Networked CD Titles

Inside the libraries: Currently the library provides access to the networked CD titles in library buildings. We also provide access to many of the CD titles outside the library facilities. Outside the libraries: Users require only a Java-compatible Web-browser to access the Library's networked CDs outside the Library. The Citrix Java client manages your connection to the Library's Citrix MetaFrame server and allows the databases to run remotely. The Java Client requires no local client installation. Setup is transparent and automatic.

If you are accessing these titles and are not on the Northwestern network you will be authenticated via the University's Virtual Private Network (VPN) service. VPN allows authorized users to access restricted resources without installing additional software or configurating your web browser. Once you have authenticated you can access these databases directly through the ER site or from the list of available networked CDs.
