Remote connection to the Mabee Library Resources
A Brief Introduction to the Mabee Library
The J.E. & L.E. Mabee Library provides electronic and physical access to a wealth of information, resources, and services. The Library currently owns approximately 235,000 volume equivalents and provides access to more than 48,000 periodical titles.
Current UIW students, including those in the undergraduate and graduate ADCaP programs, faculty and staff can access library resources remotely, using our VPN software. These resources include our online catalog, databases and links to research resources. The VPN software will permit you to tunnel through our firewall. Tutorials for downloading and installing this software can be found at Computer Resources - Tutorials under the sections on "VPN Client". Select the VPN tutorial that matches your operating system. Be sure to read tutorial 13 to ensure you know how to start the VPN software program and complete the process.
Authorized users can also dial into the library by going to Creating a Dial Up Connection . Both VPN and dial-up users will need to know their Cardinal Mail username and password. For this information point your browser to Email Login Name Search, and follow the instructions. The Computer Help Desk will assist in establishing remote connections. Their phone number and hours of operation are listed below. Your user information (your UIW login name) is on our server behind the firewall, so be sure to obtain it and try it out while you are on campus.
All current UIW students, faculty and staff have a Cardinal Mail account as well. A tutorial instructing you how to use your Cardinal Mail can be found at the following link: UIW Exchange 2003 Outlook Web Access.
