Off-Campus Access

What is it?

Off-Campus Access service allows you to connect to the Waseda licensed databases, e-journals, and e-books remotely from home or while traveling.

Unintended abuse of e-resources happens frequently. Please see the notice below.

The usage of Off-Campus Access has been increasing significantly.
When your login fails, please try again later. Thank you.

  • Note that not all e-resources are available from off-campus due to licensing or technical restrictions. For some e-resources, off-campus access is limited to certain users or it may take some time before they are available from off-campus.
  • Library automatically collects access logs for statistical analysis. These statistics will not include any personal information. If an inappropriate use of the service is confirmed, the library will use the logs for necessary investigation.
  • Be sure to disconnect your VPN connection when you use Off-Campus Access. You can not use the library e-resources while you are connecting VPN.
