Connecting to JMU Libraries from off-campus
JMU students, faculty, and staff can use electronic resources from off-campus via one of these two methods.
Most of our resources will ask you to log in as a JMU user through the browser (OpenAthens).
But a few resources are restricted to JMU's WifF network and require Pulse Secure. When they do, databases will have a little black square with a green S next to the name.
