Online access to many
indexes/abstracts
& 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 ways to connect
off-campus to Sterling
with full access to restricted
resources:
| 1.
Access through
the Library's
Proxy Server
—>
Start here
& login per instructions
NOTE:
The "Domain Name"
for faculty and staff is Enterprise.
|
| How
do I use the Proxy Service? |
You
will need access to the Internet
as well as the user name and password
associated with your ISAS-issued
e-mail account. If you are a current
Howard student, faculty or staff
member and you don't have such
an account, see pages at
ISAS,
or call the Help
Desk, 202-806-2020. |
| Benefits |
You can access all Web-based
library databases and electronic
journals just as if you were
on campus.
You do not have to tie up a
phone connection if you already
have a broadband connection
(cable modem or DSL line).
You can access all Web-based
library resources from computers
at any off-campus location—home,
office, another university,
public library, etc.
|
| Disadvantages |
Your cost, if you want to subscribe
to a broadband connection (cable
modem or DSL line). |
 |
| 2.
Dial-up Access through HU-Net |
| 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 pages
at
ISAS,
or call the Help
Desk, 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. |
For
problems regarding configuration
of your home comupter, login
name/password,
see pages at
ISAS,
or call the Help
Desk, 202-806-2020..
