Answer

To access journal articles from off campus, you must go through the library webpage - either using ACORN, the Library catalog or the E-journal locator. You need to enter your VUNet ID and password to be authenticated for access.

Next you will want to make sure that the year of the article you are looking at is actually in the coverage range showing on FindIt@VU. If there is not an electronic copy of the article you need, please check ACORN to see if there is a print. If Vanderbilt does not own a copy, you can request if through Interlibrary Loan.

If you need further assistance, please consult the library you need. You can find contact information for all the libraries on the Jean and Alexander Heard Library's Phone Numbers & Addresses page.
