For Off-Campus Users

If you are affiliated with the University of Kentucky (i.e., a current student, current or emeritus professor, or current staff), it is possible for you to access many of our resources from off-campus. (Off-Campus Access Instructions)

Some of our resources require no special login to use off-campus, e.g., the InfoKat Discovery Library Catalog can be accessed and searched from any location. Look for database listings that are marked "Free resource - available to everyone on the Internet" in the Full Descriptions.
