Note: If you use this off-campus access procedure,
your ISUCard number or Extramural Borrower's Card patron id number will
be passed through the Internet in plaintext. It is possible that it could
be intercepted by some person other than ISU personnel.
Some of the Bibliographic, Statistical and Full Text databases available through
the web interface are licensed for use by members of the Iowa State University
community.
We have recently implemented a method allowing off-campus access to these
licensed databases. Users at on-campus locations will continue to access
the databases directly by virtue of their network address. Off-campus users
will be prompted for a username and password by their browser software
(Netscape, Mosaic, Lynx, etc.).
If you are prompted for a username and password, enter the 11 digits from
your ISUCard starting after the 600957 sequence. Or enter the patron
identification number from your Extramural Borrower's Card. Enter either of
these numbers in the username field and leave the password field
empty.
