Can I access the library's catalog and databases from home?

The Goodwin library catalog can be accessed through the internet from home without any special connection. To access our catalog of books and other materials, click on the link "catalog" on our library home page.

To access our research databases you must create a VPN on your home computer. The Goodwin Library Virtual Private Network (VPN) will give you access off campus to the library's Research Databases page, alist of all the databases you need for research.

For instructions on how to set up a VPN, click on the link "Access Databases From Home". Read all the directions on this page for setting up your account. Then, scroll down the page and click on the operating system of your computer for directions on adding a new network. If you have problems, please contact the IT Help Desk at 860-727-6743.
