Off Campus Access Login | FAQ

Starting in September 18 2006, the UCSC Library is implementing a new service to provide remote access to licensed databases and journals called Off Campus Access. This new service is easier and faster than SlugLink. We recommend library users remove SlugLink from their browser configurations now.
