Research Off Campus
Gordon Library provides off-campus access to digital and print collections to all students, faculty, and staff. This access serves distance learners and students, faculty, or staff who are temporarily away from campus, and there are several ways to access the library's materials.
Configure Google Scholar Settings to Access Library Resources
Configure your Google Scholar settings to access the full text of library resources whenever you search Google Scholar.
- Go to Google Scholar and into the settings.
- Under the Library Links tab, search for: Worcester Polytechnic Institute - FullTextFinder@WPI
- Select this choice and save your settings.
This will work both on- and off-campus.
Browser Bookmarklet for Off-campus Access
If you are accessing a resource that the library subscribes to, but the webpage you are visiting does not know to prompt you for your WPI credentials, you can add the WPI Library Bookmarklet to your browser to get access to the resource.
- Drag and drop this to your favorites toolbar: Reload via WPI Lib
- If you are at a website that you suspect WPI provides access to, click the Reload via WPI Lib button on your toolbar and the page will reload with a prompt to login to WPI Library.
