Remote Access to Databases
Beeghly Library's WebCat is available from
any internet connection on campus, off campus, and worldwide.
All other databases provided by Beeghly Library through
a subscription license requires IP authentication. This
means that access is only allowed to authorized Juniata
College users and this is processed via computer location
number -- IP (Internet Protocol) authentication. If a computer
trying to access a database is on campus and connected to
the Juniata College EagleNet, access to the database should
be immediate. If a computer is off campus and not connected
to EagleNet, an IP authenticated database will then ask
for a login ID and password because it doesn't recognize
the computer address. We do not have a password to give
out in this case, because our agreements are setup to work
in an IP authentication mode only.
If you are off campus and you connect to EagleNet by using
RAS or VPN, the databases will recognize you as being connected
to EagleNet and will immediately authenticate you as an
authorized user. For more details about connecting to EagleNet
via RAS or VPN, please view Campus
Technology Services or call the HELP desk at ext. 3619.
