You are a validated UW-Madison Libraries patron if you are in a campus library, using a computer on campus via a campus LAN (Local Area Network), or using UW-Madison WiscWorld dial-up.

If you are currently affiliated with UW-Madison but using a different ISP (Internet Service Provider), or using DoIT's WiscVPN, or accessing our resources from another university, you need to login via the remote proxy service.
