UTEP Connect Library Quick-Start Guide

>>>If you're not on-campus, but need to use the UTEP Library's electronic resources,

you must authenticate your UTEP status.<<<

2 Options:

1. 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)

2. Connect to UTEP's Campus VPN (recommended!)

• VPN= Virtual Private Network
• gives your device a UTEP IP address; sites will 'think' you're at UTEP when you're connected
• log in once, stay connected while you work

The VPN is supported by the Technology Support Center.  If you have problems with it, their number is 915-747-5257.

TSC also has a Frequently Asked Questions database (requires UTEP login).  If that does answer your questions, you can submit a tech support ticket for your VPN.
