Members of the Cornell community have off-campus access to the library's many restricted resources. An active netID and password is required.

Connecting from Off-Campus

When attempting to connect to a library database from off-campus, you will be prompted for your netID and password. For a list of key business databases visit our Top Business Databases page. For databases that are available remotely, a connection link will be provided. Additional databases can be found from the Find Databases page on the Library Gateway.

More detailed instructions for connecting from off-campus are available from Gateway Help.

Common Problems with Off-Campus Access to Top Business Databases:

1. Sometimes a database will give you an error or won't work the first time you log in. Go back to the Management Library home page and start over.
2. If you are searching multiple databases during a session, sometimes your login will expire. If this happens, you won't know it until you try to connect to another database - at which point you may start getting error messages. Close your internet browser and open it again. This should resolve the problem.
3. It is sometimes necessary to clear your browser's cache. Instructions for clearing your browser's cache can be found in Gateway Help.
4. If your computer is behind a firewall, you may have trouble accessing library databases. Please see the following Gateway Help page for information about which ports will need to be opened.

Other Problems:

If none of the described problems match your own, fill out a Technical Problem Report Form. This form lets you describe the problems you've encountered, and is then sent to Management Library's reference staff.  We will help you trouble-shoot your particular situation.
