Library VPN was set up so\u00a0UNSW staff and students could\u00a0access library material that, due to copyright reasons, can only be accessed from UNSW’s network. Connecting to Library VPN, you can access\u00a0UNSW Library resources and websites<\/span> as if you were physically located on campus.<\/p>\n

Connecting to Library VPN opens you up to a world of information and research, wherever you are.\u00a0Complete your research\u00a0through online\u00a0eJournals<\/a>, and access to hundreds\u00a0of databases<\/a>, from Access Engineering through to\u00a0Zoological Record.<\/p>\n

Browse through thousands of documentaries, television shows and movies<\/a>\u00a0available to stream. Listen to huge catalogue of music<\/a>, complete with\u00a0composer and artist biographies, notes and sheet music, to expand your understanding of the arts.<\/p>\n

And as the first “full traffic” VPN offered by UNSW, you can use Library VPN overseas to browse the web like you were still in Australia. That means you can continue to use Google’s services in\u00a0China, continue to use social media in Egypt to connect to your team back home, or\u00a0to simply\u00a0watch ABC’s iView to stay informed on events back in Australia while\u00a0overseas.<\/p>\n
