 Hi, I'm Nadia, a public affairs major, and this is how I got set up with free remote access to all the ebooks, articles, and films provided by UCLA Library using an off-campus VPN on my Chromebook. First, let's talk about why we need to use a VPN from off-campus. Well, when you're off-campus, websites don't necessarily know that you're a Bruin. This means that if you try to access an ebook or article in a database or on another website, you might not be able to get to the full text, you might run into an error message, or the website may even ask you to pay a fee. Don't pay that fee. To see if you can get that book or article through UCLA Library, you can set up your computer with VPN. This gives you a chance to type in your UCLA logon ID and show the internet that you are a Bruin. Once you're set up, you'll have access to millions of resources paid for by UCLA Library, from ebooks and articles to other forms of resources like videos and music. I chose VPN because it's really simple to use. You can download the VPN application through the Chrome Web Store and add it to Chrome. Whether I'm searching for online textbooks or articles for an assignment, I'm able to find resources quickly and easily with my Chromebook's VPN. Here's how I did it. First, I went to the library website at library.ucla.edu, then I clicked on connect from off campus. From there, I chose VPN. Now, I use a Chromebook, so I chose Chrome. After that, I followed these directions to get set up. Let's walk through it together. Be patient on how you can get set up with remote access to everything UCLA Library has to offer. Visit library.ucla.edu and click on connect from off campus.
