About the Library - Remote Access

To have remote access to all available online subscription resources in the Eskind Digital Library, you must obtain a valid VUnetID.

VUnet IDs are issued to individuals who have a direct faculty, student, or work role with Vanderbilt. The licenses for our electronic library resources restrict use to such individuals. Others may use the resources only if they are physically on the campus. We are unable to provide remote access to our subscription electronic resources to any Vanderbilt alumni or other affiliated groups due to restrictions enforced by our subscription providers. The VUnet IDs and passwords issued to alumni are not valid for remote access to subscription resources.

If an individual from such a group has a working relationship with Vanderbilt, the department they are working with can request a VUnet ID from ITS for the duration of their work relationship.

To access the Digital Library from off campus, look for the login button and click to log in with your valid VUnet ID and password. Most subscription resources (including journals) are available remotely.
