ACCESS FROM OFF CAMPUS

Certain online resources (e.g., reference databases, electronic journals) are available to the students, faculty and staff of HELIN institutions.

Since many of the resources provide their material as PDF format files, You will need to download the Acrobat Reader.

Questions regarding database access from off-campus will be gladly answered by Olga Verbeek -- verbeeko@salve.edu or 401-341-2281.

Access to online resources with the following labels    and    from remote, off campus locations can be done in either of two ways: Option 1 or Option 2.

Option 1: Simply enter your name and Library barcode for access.
With the new setup, you can connect to the Internet using any Internet Service Provider you want—AOL, Cox, AT&T, Verizon, Earthlink, etc. The first time you click on a restricted online resource on the University Library's Web site or from within the HELIN library catalog, you will be prompted for your name and your library barcode, a 14-digit number. Your barcode is in the following format: 23759xxxxxxxxx. If you have a Salve Card, your library barcode is on the front of the card. You will only need to enter this information once per session. Once you have been “authenticated” as a Salve patron, you may begin your search.

Please note:

Option 2: Connect to the Internet using Salve's Dialup Number and your Salve account.
If you are a student, faculty, or staff living in the Newport area you can access the databases by using Salve as your Internet Service Provider. Just set your computer to dial 551-2000 and use your username and password that logs you into campus computers (GO domain). You will be able to access restricted online resources without having to enter any information.This is because the online information service thinks that you are on the campus network, which, in fact, you are. (Questions about using Salve's dialup number can be answered by: Gerry Ginty -- ginty@salve.edu or 401-341-2177).
