Instructions for Off Campus Access

Before you can access databases off campus, you must change the default password in your user accounts. Instructions. 

Method #1:

This is the easiest and best method and works on almost all computers  Do this:

Method #2:

Use Method 2 to access American Chemical Society and ARTstor databases. Follow the directions below for setting up a direct network connection for your operating system.

• Windows XP

Method #3:

If Methods #1 and 2 both fail, write down the exact text of any error messages and call Sarah Clark, Access Services and Distance Learning Librarian at 918-343-7719 (if no answer, call the front desk at 343-7716). She will forward you to the appropriate people to resolve your connection problem.

For All Methods:

Your username is your on-campus student login: sdfirstnamelastname. Users with the same name are assigned names with numbers following the end of the username. Your password is the password you use when logging into the campus computers. If you have never logged in, the password should be your birthdate (mmddyyyy).

Note for Faculty Members:

All RSU Faculty members can request a student network login from ACS that will allow them to access library databases from home via the website. Please contact your department head for more details.
