If you are not on-campus, but need to use the UTEP Library's online resources, you must authenticate your access with your UTEP ID.

BEST Option:

1. Connect to GlobalProtect VPN 

• VPN= Virtual Private Network
• Gives your device a secure UTEP IP address; sites will 'think' you're at UTEP when you're connected
• Log in once, stay connected
• How-to + download links: 
• Setup Two-Factor Authentification and download the Duo mobile app
• Download GlobalProtect VPN 
• NEED VPN HELP? CONTACT UTEP'S TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT HELP DESK

Not so good Option:

2. Connect to UTEP Library's Proxy Server

• Follow the prompt to sign in using your UTEP username and password before accessing a database or e-book
• Sessions expire quickly
• You will be prompted to authenticate (log in) every time you access a protected resource (i.e., databases)
• Does not get you into all databases (some require IP authentication via VPN)
