Off Campus Access to Library Resources

In order to access numerous Forsyth Library databases and other electronic resources from off campus, you must reconfigure your browser (Netscape, Explorer, etc.) to access our proxy server. The proxy server authenticates you as a current FHSU faculty, staff, or student. The instructions can be found on the Computing and Telecommunication Center (CTC) Help Desk web page entitled Access to Library Resources. Choose the appropriate system, browser, and version, then follow the directions. CTC also has a troublehooting guide available if you have followed their process and you are still having problems accessing library resources.

Some resources, held by Forsyth Library, are restricted due to licensing agreements with database vendors and journal publishers. If you have any questions regarding library electronic resources, please phone the Reference Desk at (785) 628-5283. If you have any trouble configuring your browser, please call the CTC Help Desk at (785) 628-5276.
