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.

Note: Most resources are available for off-campus access through the Libraries remote access service. However, some resources are unavailable off-campus due to technical or licensing issues.

The following resources are not currently proxied:

• The Children's Literature Comprehensive Database is not licensed for off-campus use at this time.
• Si ku quan shu (Wenyuange Edition/Electronic version) is not available for off-campus use at this time. This is due to technical limitations in our remote access software.
