Off Campus Access to Databases


General Information

Rockhurst University students, faculty and staff only may access selected library databases from off campus by using the VPN proxy server service provided by the Rockhurst University Computer Services department.

  • Logging into the VPN proxy server gives your computer a temporary Rockhurst University internet address which can be recognized by the companies that provide databases to the library.
  • Additional services are also available through VPN.

Follow the instructions on the VPN Portal Homepage at https://vpn.rockhurst.edu/. Questions or problems with VPN should be directed to the Computer Services Helpdesk at 816-501-4357. Their hours are listed on their website.

Once logged into the VPN proxy server click on the "Library Databases" link to access the databases.

Some databases require using a password even when accessing through VPN. These databases are indicated by "password protected" next to the database link. Please contact the Greenlease Library Information Desk at 816-501-4188 for requirements to use "password protected" databases.
