Access to full-texts in electronic information resources (licensed databases and portals, e-books available via the Online Catalog and digitized study literature in the MBU Virtual Reading Room) is bound to IP addresses of the MBU Metropolitan Network.

Users with valid registration to work with e-resourece from their particular devices or computers outside of MBU Metropolitan Network can use remote access. Remote access is provided through Virtual Private Network (VPN). With a VPN, you work wtih e-resources, like from computers at a university.

 

How can you set up remote access?

  • install the OpenVPN client,
  • download and set up the LIBRARY-VPN configuration file,
  • start the VPN client (use the same login name and password as for the University e-mail account),
  • enter the University Library website into the search engine and select e-resources you would like to work with,
  • do not forget to log out the VPN client when you have finished working with e-resources.

Instructions for installing and setting up the client and configuration file are accessible on helpdesk.umb.sk. If the portal requires a login, use the same login name and password as for the University e-mail account.
