FAQs

How do I get access off-campus?

Off-campus access is automatic for current student, faculty and staff.

When you are trying to access a library resource off-campus, you will need to authenticate through the BU Library Proxy.  Your username will be the same username that you have for email.  Do not include "@bastyr.edu" in your username.  Your password will be the same as your email too.  

If you aren't able to authenticate via the proxy, please contact the library so that we can confirm your credentials.

Sometimes you will have a direct link to get to a resource - make sure the link has some referent to BU proxy.  Typically it will look like this:  https://login.buproxy.bastyr.edu/login?url=

If you don't see the bolded content, the link you have will not work off campus.  Look at the resource in the second half of the link: 

https://login.buproxy.bastyr.edu/login?url=http://casefiles.mhmedical.com/    

and see if you can access the resource directly via the library database list.
