If you access library resources from off campus, you'll need to sign in with your UA NetID and password. An alternative is to use UA IT's Virtual Private Network (VPN), which is free for UA students and instructors to download. The VPN client provides a secure connection between your home computer, laptop, or mobile device and the UA network.
