Off campus Access

Rhodes off-campus access to the Research Databases

Most of the databases and e-resources provided at RUL might be available on the web; but they are NOT FREE. You need to use the Library Login you have set up to access My Library Record to access these resources when you are off campus.

For off-campus access, you will need to login with your Rhodes borrower barcode NUMBER, which is the 8-digit number that appears on the reverse side of your Rhodes Student / Staff card, and PIN to access these resources (create the PIN as indicated on the Library Login screen).

If you have problems, please telephone the Loans Desk (046) 603-8463 or contact the Faculty librarians . Please quote your name and student number.

Some databases may be accessed on-campus only due to publisher licensing restrictions. An example hereof is Datastream.

A third category of databases are password accessible. The login codes for these databases can be found on the Rhodes Intranet. When accessing this Intranet site from off-campus, you will be prompted to use your Novell login, which is the same as the login you use to access your Rhodes e-mail account. Please keep these login codes confidential! They are to be used by bona fide Rhodes staff and students only.
