Accessing Library Resources with Single Sign-On: Off campus access to library resources

Off campus access to library resources

Single Sign-On (Shibboleth)

Morris Library works with vendors to support Single Sign-On to allow SIUC students, faculty, and staff to use their Network ID and password to access resources licensed by Morris Library. These vendors use Shibboleth as an alternative method for authentication. 

EzProxy

Morris Library will continue to use EzProxy for off campus authentication for providers that do not support Single Sign-On.  SIUC users need to access these resources via Morris Library's website or Morris Library's catalog or may use a proxy bookmarklet.
