Off-Campus Access to Databases and Online Resources

 
Searching in the catalog, Summit, library Web pages, and most external links are available to everyone.

You can access your H drive and specialized programs, including Photoshop, SPSS, SAS and Dreamweaver from off campus by using WOU's terminal servers.

Access to some online resources is restricted to current WOU students, faculty and staff.

To access your files stored on the campus network (My Documents, public_html) and applications such as Microsoft Office, SPSS, SAS, Adobe Creative Suite, or Dreamweaver, use Windows Remote Desktop to access the WOU terminal servers. Instructions (PDF)

Technical Recommendations and Requirements

To have full functionality when using library resources, we recommend:

• A modern web browser (we recommend Chrome or Firefox). Mac users: Safari is also an option, but has been known to have issues with some of our services.
• Cookies and JavaScript enabled in your browser
• A PDF plugin such as Adobe Acrobat Reader 
• Firewalls: Some school districts and workplaces have firewalls that interfere with our proxy server, the machine that identifies you as a WOU patron to our subscription databases. Contact your network administrator for assistance. Your network or ISP must allow access to ports 2048-2248 (except 2049).

If you need assistance or experience problems, please contact us at 503-838-8899 or email libweb@wou.edu
