On campus, use the UCSD-Protected Wifi (or RESNET-Protected) network to access our licensed electronic resources from a laptop or mobile device.
The Library licenses thousands of electronic resources, including databases, ebooks, and journals. Many of these resources are only available to UC San Diego students, faculty, and staff due to license agreements.
Setting up VPN helps identify you as a member of the UC San Diego community, so you can use these resources rather than being prompted to login or pay for content. If you need help connecting from off-campus, follow our instructions and troubleshooting tips!
