Trang 1What is Remote Access?
The Remote Access system allows you to set up your computer at any off-campus location and to use the barcode number on your student card as a password When you access the databases and ejournals using this system there is no need for a specific password for each service as the system makes your computer act as if you are on campus and access is automatic It relies on IP recognition as a means of accessing subscribed databases
The alphabetic and subject lists at the Database and Electronic Resources Menu show which databases are available via Remote Access These lists indicate if a database is only available via Password Access, or on-campus All the others with a " open database " link are available via Remote Access There is also a Summary List of Remote Access resources
Remote access set-up steps
What is Extro?
You can set up an Extro Internet Service Provider (ISP) account with
University of Sydney.
When you dial-in to Extro from off-campus, your computer logs into part of the University network You can then access the ejournals and databases which permit off-campus access, without being prompted for database logins or passwords
Information on Extro for Cumberland students.

Frequently Asked Questions about Extro
What is Password Access?
If you have followed all the instructions and can't set up the Remote Access system, the Library can issue passwords which let you use e-reserve and some databases Unfortunately these specific passwords will not give you access to the same range of databases and
ejournals as via the Remote Access system or Extro The passwords for Library e-resources are different to your MyUni login details and must be applied for Your MyUni/UniKey
login details will not give you access to Library e-resources, ereserve
or course readings Postgraduates and academics can also receive passwords for
DIRECT document delivery
Apply for a password
Databases with password access
About DIRECT document delivery for postgraduates and academics
To set up Remote Access you need:
An account with a commercial ISP which permits direct connection to the Library proxy server
You will also have to:
have standard Web Browser software - Netscape or MS Internet Explorer, versions 3.0 and higher
(A browser is the application you are using to read this page now.)
configure your browser to use the Library proxy server See the set-up instructions below (Remote Access traffic is connected through a proxy server which verifies that you are an enrolled student or staff member Once you have been verified, all your requests to
databases are directed through the proxy server, and appear to be coming from within the Library network.)
and have a current student or staff Library Barcode Number (the 13 digit number printed on your student/staff Library card)
Remote Access set-up steps:
1 Check that your ISP supports direct connection to the Library's proxy server If it runs a proxy/caching system, you must be able to bypass it if required
Trang 2Please note that many users with Telstra Bigpond Home accounts report difficulty in
connecting to our proxy server Users with Telstra Business Essentials accounts may be able
to access our server The prices and terms are similar to some Bigpond Home accounts
2 Configure your Web browser - Netscape or MS Internet Explorer
You will only need to do this once, unless you reinstall or change your browser
3.The Remote Access Login screen (see below) will now appear when you click on a link in the catalogue to open an e-resource, or when you first go to one of the library web pages such as http://www.library.usyd.edu.au It will ask for your name and Library Barcode Number
It will disappear when you have been authenticated as a valid user From then on, your computer will appear to databases to be coming from within the University of Sydney
network, and you should not be prompted for any additional logins or passwords Your connection to Remote Access will time out after 10 minutes of no activity
If the Remote Access Login screen does not appear, or re-appears
after you have filled it out, refer to Troubleshooting If after working through the Troubleshooting steps you still can't login, please contact the Electronic Access
Librarian or your Subject Librarian for help Make sure you know the name and version of the browser you are using If you contact via email, please outline the
Troubleshooting steps you have tried
4 Once you have been authenticated (ie you have filled out the Remote Access
Login screen and it has disappeared), select your database or ejournal from the lists at
Databases and Electronic Resources. menu, or the Summary List of
Remote Access Resources
