Online access to many
indexes/abstracts
& fulltext
e-journals,
whether through Sterling online
catalog
or the Library Website, is
restricted by vendor license agreements
to connections within the HU Network
(HU-Net).
There
are two quick ways for authenticated off-campus access to vendor-restricted library
databases and e-journals, whether they appear in the Databases list, an HUL webpage, or in Sterling:

| What
is HU-Net Account and how do I
use it? |
HU-Net is a free service that
allows current HU faculty, students
and staff members to dial in to
a local number (202 area code)
and access the Web just as if
you were on campus.
You will need your HU-Net username
and password, a computer with
a modem, an ordinary phone line,
and a browser (such as Internet
Explorer, Netscape). If you are
a current Howard student, faculty
or staff member and you don't
have such an account, see instructions,
or call:
-- Faculty & Staff help, 202-806-2020

| Benefits |
You can access all Web-based library
databases and electronic journals
just as if you were on campus. |
| Disadvantages |
Unless you have 2 phone lines,
your phone will be busy while
online.
If the 202 area code is long-distance
for you, remote access can be
very expensive. |
