Changes to remote access to electronic resources

This applies to holders of full Oxford University cards only.

The old Athens system of remote access is no longer available.

You can now access electronic resources (including electronic journals) remotely using your Single Sign On account. There is a new interface to electronic resources called OxLIP+ which you you can access at
http://oxlip-plus.ouls.ox.ac.uk/, or follow the link from 'old' OxLIP. If you log in to OxLIP + using your SSO, you will be able access almost all resources - this gives the functionality of the VPN but you do not need to install software or register for additional passwords.

'Old' OxLIP will continue to be available and you will be able to connect to some resources using SSO. If you currently use the VPN, you can continue to do so if you wish.

Further information about the changes can be found at
