Off Campus Access

Current CMU students, faculty, and staff have access to electronic library materials from off campus. All other users must be on campus and request temporary computer access to use electronic materials.

Most resources are accessible via our EZProxy Service. Use our Databases A-Z List to access your resource and use your Andrew ID and password to log in when prompted. If you do not use a link from our catalog or the A-Z list, you may have trouble accessing our subscribed content. If you're off campus and have problems, please report them using this form or email us at eresources@cmu.libanswers.com.

Please note: SciVal and WRDS (Wharton Research Data Services) do not use EZproxy. To access these databases, use the VPN method explained at the link below.
