Using a Private Computer

Possible solutions for access to UiB resources off campus

• Start at the University Library's web page https://www.uib.no/ub/en
  A proxy-server will automatically connect when it is necessary. Log in with your usual user name and password at UoB. This goes for all the e-resources the University Library has access to
   

• Manually linking via proxyserver: Write the following before the URL of the electronic resource you want to read: https://pva.uib.no/login?url=

• VPN (Virtual Private Network) gives additional access to your own home area, the department's public areas and the University's printing services
   
• desktop.uib.no  (only for staff) gives additional access to your own home area, the department's public areas and the University's printing services
