Name: Accessing Subscription-Based Electronic Resources
ID: m12583
Language: English (en)
Summary: Electronic resources such as databases, indexes and journals can be crucial for research projects, but many require a subscription. Your library may be a subscriber--and may provide you with a way to access the resource from your own home or office. This module, part of a course on doing historical research, discusses how to access such resources while outside the the library building, highlighting how to use a proxy server and Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Keywords: accessing networked resources, History -- Methodology, History -- Research, TIMEA, Travelers in the Middle East Archive
