Answer
- Option 1 - start from anywhere, find what you want and log in with your NJIT UCID credentials when prompted.
- Option 2 - start from the NJIT library website, or the A-Z Database list, find what you want and log in with your NJIT UCID credentials when prompted.
Current NJIT students, faculty, and staff members accessing electronic resources from on-campus are typically recognized as authorized users via the campus network connection. However, off-campus access must be authorized using an authentication method.
Off-Campus Authentication
The NJIT Library is pleased to introduce a new Single Sign On (SSO) technology powered by OpenAthens for off-campus authentication. OpenAthens enables authorized NJIT members to use their NJIT UCID credentials to access electronic resources from anywhere (Google Scholar, publisher/vendor websites, and search engines, etc.) and from the library curated routes (library catalog, discovery layer, reading list system, etc.)
The NJIT Library offers three off-campus authentication options: OpenAthens (recommended option), VPN (full tunnel option), and EZProxy (legacy option).
