Can I access databases from home?

Can I access databases from home?

Remote access to any of the Library's subscribed electronic resources is restricted to current EUI members (researchers, fellows, course participants, faculty, and staff).

Accessing resources via the Library Catalogue or the Databases A-Z list, the links will prompt you to login via OpenAthens authentication. You will only need to authenticate once to start an eight-hour-long OpenAthens session. During that time, you will not be asked to authenticate again, regardless of the number of different content platforms you visit. This will still be active even if you continue your research via Google or any other search engine.

If the use of a database is limited on campus, or special configuration is needed it is stated on each database.
