  • Text the call number, title, and location of a book to your cell phone
  • Create reading lists

Off-Campus Access To Library Resources

The virtual private network, or VPN, is the best way to connect to library resources from off campus. Make sure to choose Library/International from the Group drop-down menu when you sign in to the VPN.  Learn more about the VPN. ​LTS pro tip: most off-campus connectivity problems are solved by using the VPN to connect when using library resources.
