There are several ways to connect to the libraries' online books, journals, and databases from off-Grounds:
Library Website | UVA Anywhere VPN | LibKey Nomad Plugin |
Starting on the library's website invokes the "proxy server" which will allow you to login with your UVA credentials to get to our resources.
|
UVA Information Technology Services provides VPN technology to give authorized UVA users (including students) secure, authenticated access to restricted resources, some of which are limited to on-Grounds use.
|
LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that offers links to PDFs while browsing certain pages such as PubMed, WOS, publisher websites, and Wikipedia. Install LibKey Nomad and you'll get a "Provided by University of Virginia" button on articles. Click to get to the full PDF. If LibKey Nomad can not find the article, you will be brought to a page where you can select to submit the citation to our Interlibrary Loan Service (ILL). All the information will automatically populate in the ILL form. |
These sources review other materials, mostly journal articles, to provide a synthesized account of the best literature on a topic. Often a good starting point for your research.
Multi-Database Interfaces
These interfaces allow you to search collections of library databases at once.
