Information About Off-campus Access

Logging In

For each Internet session, the first time you attempt to access a restricted resource that has an [off-campus] designation, you will be prompted to enter your NECO login information (if your session extends beyond 30 minutes you may be prompted to enter your login information again).

Your login information is the same username/password combination that is used for accessing your College e-mail account and/or your campus networked workstation. Just as your e-mail access is encrypted for security, so is your login to access these Library resources.  From this login, you will proceed directly to the licensed resource. 

Below is an example of a student logging into the off-campus authentication process:
