The electronic library resources such as online databases (e-journals, e-books, etc.) are accessible for currently registered EMU members from outside the campus by VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection. While studying in the library or on campus and using EMU's internet access, you gain automatic access to online databases and electronic resources and you don't need to use VPN connection on campus. While the Remote Access service is limited to currently registered EMU members; guest library users are welcome to use our online databases and electronic resources on the Library premises.
