Access electronic resources off-campus

The majority of AUD Library databases and electronic resources are available while you are off-campus. You can access them by entering your username and password (same as the ones you use for your AUD Blackboard account).

Create Personal Accounts for access off-campus

You will always be prompted for your AUD credentials when you are off-campus but some resources will require that you create a personal account in addition to this and in order to access resources off-campus. Please be sure to create these accounts while you are on-campus. 

Resources that require an additional personal account include: ArtStor, O'Reilly Safari eBooks, The New York Times, PressReader and EBSCO eBooks.
