About Off-Campus Access

When utilizing library resources from off-campus you will need to identify yourself as a current UA Little Rock student/employee. After selecting the resource you wish to use via the library's Discovery search, Journal Search, or the A-Z Database list, you will be prompted to fill-in your email address and password.

Getting Connected

Steps to demonstrating your current UA Little Rock status:

  • Select the database, electronic book or electronic journal
  • Enter your email address and password
  • Your email address can be found via your BOSS account.

Possible Problems with Off-Campus Access

  • You need to reset your password in BOSS. To do this, log in to BOSS and select Personal Information > View System Accounts and Change Password. 
  • You may have been directed to the publisher’s login page rather than the library's proxy page. This can happen when you are using Google to search for library resources rather than starting at the library website. We suggest starting your research from the library's websiteDiscovery search, Databases A-Z list, or Journal Search. If you prefer a more organic search, please be sure to login to the library's off-campus authentication, OpenAthens, prior to searching Google for library resources.
  • Your UA Little Rock account may not be active or you have been locked out due to too many failed password attempts. Please contact ITS if you suspect that your account has been deactivated or locked.
