premed202 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Is there a way to access scientific literature while off campus? When i'm logged onto my university's wifi, I get access to full text articles, but at home I don't.How can I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Your school should have a library page where you can login and access the same articles. for example: For York, I go to library.yorku.ca, login using my student information and then search the library database for the bibliometric search engine i'd like to use.

Falling Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Im running a systematic review and need to search 10 different databases seperately.. Shouldn't be a problem. Log in to your school's library database, and then use whatever search engine you'd like. When you get to an article that you'd like to open, there should be an option: Find at <School Name> Click on that option, and the article will open, just as it would if you were on campus. If somehow it is not working, you can always go to campus and download everything and then read it at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Try contacting your library admits by email or phone to find out how you can access article content at home. They'll be able to tell you the best way that fits with their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
