Details:
Off-campus access to most library databases and e-journals is available only to current Duke students, faculty, and staff. To gain remote access, use OIT's proxy server. You will need to use your ACPUB account to access the proxy server.
Another option for current Duke users in the Durham area is the OIT modem pool. Note: OIT is gradually phasing out the modem pools, and recommends people consider using one of the newer, higher-speed options in conjunction with the proxy server.

Why only Duke students, faculty, and staff?
When we purchase access to an electronic resource, we sign a license agreement with the vendor. This license requires us to restrict access to current Duke community. This restriction is accomplished using IP (Internet Protocol) authentication -- the library doesn't use passwords to manage access to e-resources.
Unfortunately, our vendors don't allow us to provide alumni with remote access to our e-resources.
Of course, you are welcome to visit the Duke campus to search our e-resources. If you do not live in the Durham area, you may want to visit a public or academic library near you. Many states, including North Carolina, have state-wide consortia that provide access (possibly including remote access) to many scholarly databases. The North Carolina consortium is NCLive. Inquire at your local public library for more information.
