Campus Library FAQ: How do I access library resources from off-campus?

UW NetID

Many, if not most of the Libraries' electronic resources are available off-campus to UW Bothell and Cascadia College students, staff, and faculty who are currently affiliated and have active UW NetIDs.


1. Click the resource that you want after navigating to or through the Campus Library's website.

2. A prompt may appear asking you to log in with a valid UW NetID before continuing to the resource. Type your UW NetID information, then select "Sign in" to be redirected to your chosen resource.

UW NetID login screen

Note: Many of the Libraries' online resources are restricted to current affiliated UWB and CC faculty, students, and staff. 

If you have a currently active UW NetID but still receive an error message when attempting to login, please contact Libraries Account Services.

UW Students - Husky OnNet (BIG-IP Edge Client)

UW Students may be eligible to use the UW's Husky OnNet VPN service configured for "All Internet Traffic" to connect to Library Resources remotely instead of using the Libraries proxy service.
