Off-Campus Access

The library provides access to many of its resources off-campus. The information below explains how to access digital resources like article databases, e-journals and e-books.

To access the library's resources, you need to have valid Marquette login credentials.

Library Login

The majority of the library's resources use OpenAthens for access. From the library's website, select the database you want to use. When prompted, select "Marquette University Libraries (AZURE)".

Choose sign in method

Next, sign in using your MU email and password.

If you are already signed in to your Marquette email or other university websites, you may not be asked to sign in again.

Enter your MU email and password

How long does my login last?  When will it time out?

Your authentication will end after 8 hours of inactivity in the logged-in browser or when you close the browser.

Who do I contact if my OpenAthens login does not work?

Please fill out the Database Access Problems form, stop by the Library Services Desk, or call us at (414) 288-7556.

Does logging into one browser then authenticate me on other browsers that I open?

No. Each login is browser-specific.

Will I have to log in for each database that I use, even in the same browser session?

No.

VPN (Virtual Private Network)

Some library resources cannot be accessed off-campus without using the VPN.

Follow the instructions for downloading the VPN (and Duo multi-factor authentication) on your phone or computer.

  1. Connect to the VPN using your MARQNET username and password.
  2. Acknowledge the notification from Duo received on your smartphone. Once the notification is acknowledged, the VPN will connect.
  3. Go to the library's website and start your research.
