Most IU School of Medicine Library online resources require authentication. You will need an IU or Clarian Username and password in order to authenticate and gain access off-campus to these resources.

Remote login process:

1. Go to the Ruth Lilly Medical Library Home Page (http://library.medicine.iu.edu).
2. Select the resource you would like to access.
3. You will be presented with an Authentication page where you will enter your IU username and password.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) access

The preferred method of off-campus access is through the VPN, or Virtual Private Network. Logging in through a VPN allows your computer to be recognized as if you were on campus and can save you from having to login every time you access campus online resources. 

The easiest way to set up a VPN on your computer is to use the VPN installers provided by UITS:
 http://iuware.iu.edu/title.aspx?id=1040

Mac Users go to:
 http://kb.iu.edu/data/algk.html

More information about VPNs can be found in the Knowledge Base:
http://kb.iu.edu/data/aygt.html


For help with the installation, call the University Computing Services Help Desk at 274-4357.
