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. Faculty emeriti and visiting scholars at the university are recognized as current faculty. For more information, see Licensed Digital Resources [PDF].

To access these restricted resources from off campus, you must identify yourself as a Rutgers user by connecting to our website and logging in with your Rutgers University NetID.

From a Rutgers Libraries' page, just click on the LOGIN 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 Query. If you do not yet have a Rutgers NetID you may create an OIT account and NetID.

Users in recognized joint degree programs may continue to login using their barcode and pin.
