FIND RESERVES
Reserve materials may be protected by Copyright Law (Title 17 U.S. Code).
Further distribution of electronic reserve documents is prohibited.
Connect to: Reserves
Electronic reserve documents are available to Rutgers users
at public access workstations in the libraries, in campus computer labs, and
PCs connected to the campus network.
Current students, faculty, and staff of
Rutgers University may also access electronic reserve documents off campus by
logging-in
to the Libraries website for access to Rutgers restricted resources.
CONNECT FROM OFF-CAMPUS
The Libraries obtain many indexes, databases, electronic journals, electronic reserves, and other full-text resources through commercial licensing agreements that restrict access to current students, faculty, and staff and all onsite users. Onsite users may gain access, but only current students, faculty and staff of the university may connect from remote locations.
To access these restricted resources from off campus, you must identify yourself as a Rutgers user
by connecting to our website in one of two ways:
-
If you live in the Camden, New Brunswick, or Newark local calling area, you may wish to dial into the Rutgers modems directly.
Once your dial-in connection is set up, you will be able to run a graphical browser such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer
and use the Libraries' resources just as if you were on campus.
-
If you normally connect to the Web via a commercial Internet Service Provider (e.g., AOL, NetZero,
etc.), you can use the Libraries' electronic resources remotely by logging in with your Rutgers
University NetID.
From a Rutgers Libraries' page, just click on the
NOT LOGGED IN
link on the upper left.
Then enter your NetID and Password into the Login box.
Once you identify yourself as an authorized Rutgers' user, you will be able to use most of the
Libraries' restricted resources from off campus.
If you have a Rutgers NetID and do not remember what it is you may look it up using the
NetID lookup application. If you do not yet have a Rutgers NetID you may
create an OIT account and NetID.
