Raynor Library' remote computer access service allows use of the library's computers and software from home. Students, faculty, and staff with a current Marquette ID can securely connect their own computers to the library's and thereby use any of the software available on the library's machines. Setup is a simple two step process involving connecting to Marquette's VPN and installing the library's remote connection app. With those two elements in place, you can select a library computer that has the software you need and securely connect your own computer to it.
You must first connect to the Marquette University Virtual Private Network (VPN) before you will be able to gain remote access to a library computer. If you are on campus and using the campus internet, you will not need to connect to the VPN.
