Connect From Off-campus
Options for accessing Library resources while off-campus.
Many of the library’s electronic resources, such as EBSCO databases, and JSTOR, have been configured so you can sign-in using your Truman credentials when you are off-campus without the need to use the VPN or Virtual Desktop – view.truman.edu. Use the Find your Institution or Sign in via your Institution or library option to be directed to Truman’s authentication page. If asked to select a Federation, choose InCommon.
Please be aware that not all of our venders have enabled this type of authentication and you may still need to use the VPN or Virtual desktop.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN)- Use the link above to view directions provided by ITS for downloading and installing the VPN software.
- Virtual Desktop - https//view.truman.edu/In your browser, go to https//view.truman.edu and login with your Truman userid and password (choose the HTML access). You will have access to a virtual desktop where you can use all computer lab software (including library databases) just as if you were using a lab computer on campus.
