Online Resources

The Library provides access to a wide range of online resources, including: Nugget, the UTEP Library Catalog, over 300 subscription electronic databases, librarian-reviewed web sites, and thousands of electronic journals (e-journals).

Access to Online Resources

Access to Nugget and most of the Library’s subscription online resources is available to anyone from computers in the CLC and in the Media & Microforms area. However, some subscription databases are restricted to current UTEP faculty, staff, and students from on campus locations.

Off campus (remote) access to Nugget along with databases and websites designated as “free” is available to anyone with an Internet connection. Remote access to most of the Library’s subscription electronic databases and e-journals is available to current UTEP faculty, staff, and students only via the following methods:

  1. The Campus VPN (broadband users only)
  2. The Library’s Proxy Server (requires valid library patron record).

Questions or Problems?

If you are using the VPN and are having problems connecting to the network contact the campus Help Desk at helpdesk@utep.edu or (915) 747-5257.

If you experience technical problems while using any of the UTEP Library’s electronic resources, please contact Lisa M. Borden, Electronic Resources Librarian, at (915) 747-6709.
