Access & Borrowing
Connecting from Home
As a UBC student, you have full access to the wide range of print and electronic collections through the Library from home, as well as in person. To get instant access to online Journals, Indexes & Databases, and other Library licensed resources from off-campus locations you can use the EZproxy login. You'll need your Campus-Wide Login (CWL) or your UBC Card's barcode and pin number. Don't know or forgot your pin number? You can request a new pin here: http://ilsauth.library.ubc.ca/login/forgot.php
If you get an EZproxy error message, use this troubleshooting checklist:
- 1. Check your connectivity: make sure that your internet service provider is working.
- 2. If you can't log in with your Campus Wide Login (CWL), contact UBC IT Service Centre Help Desk, by phone (604-822-2008 weekdays, 8:00-4:30) or via this form.
- 3. If you can't log in using your Library barcode and PIN, you might have a Library PIN problem. Call the Library's Borrower Services division at 604-822-2406. More information here. Forgotten your Library PIN? Reset it here.
- 4. If your access problems are intermittent, i.e., you can access some online journals from home but not others it may be that there's an issue with the journal itself. You can report access problems relating to specific journals and/or databases here: http://about.library.ubc.ca/contact-us/ejournal-help/
