Current Manhattanville students, faculty, and staff have access to Manhattanville College Library's databases from off campus.  Matriculated students in a degree-granting program are set up automatically.  Any currently enrolled Manhattanville student with a valid ID number may request off-campus database access.

To access the databases from off-campus:

1.  Click on the database you would like to use.
2.  A login page will open asking for user name and password.

• The user name is your last name in lower-case letters.
• Your password is the number located on the front of your Manhattanville College ID card.

3.  Once you are authenticated, you can use any of the databases. You will not have to log in again until the next time you start a computer session.

A Note About Firewalls:

"Most ISPs do not limit the areas their users can access on the Internet, so home users do not tend to encounter problems with firewalls. However, corporate sites often do employ firewalls and may be highly restrictive in what their employees can access. If you provide content for a given corporate site, the corporate site may be willing to open access through their firewall to your EZproxy server. However, if a corporate site refuses to open access, your users will not be able to access EZproxy."

It's important to understand that corporate firewall restrictions are not unique to EZproxy, but are actually encountered when implementing any proxy server solution for remote access." - from the EZproxy support site: http://www.usefulutilities.com/support/faq.html.
