Creating a Virtual Private Network

NEWS FLASH: EZproxy is coming. You will be able to access UBC Library Online using just your CWL. This will save you time and effort.



A Virtual Private Network, affectionately called VPN, is a distance student's best friend.

Turn on the VPN and your computer thinks it is on the UBC campus.

This is an excellent way to use UBC Library Online.

No longer will journal publishers ask you for a payment to see a journal article. Instead you will find the article for free using UBC Library Online. Hurray!

Set aside a quiet time when you have about half an hour. Read through the instructions. Then give it try.

Need a bit of help? Call the ITServices Help Desk at 604-822-2008.
