Access Anywhere
Access library material anywhere!
The Library provides access to many databases, books, and journal articles for you to use in your research. When you are on campus, these resources are available automatically because you are connected to the Cornell network. When you attempt to do research off campus, you not longer have automatic access to these resources. The Access Anywhere bookmark creates that connection and allows you to access electronic resources as if you were still on campus.
For more information check out the Access Anywhere guide.
