The AU Library seeks to provide all users with a welcoming, library’s resources, and a good environment. We offer a variety of accessibility services and equipment in support of learning, teaching, and research for all users. You can access to a world class collection, a document delivery service, and guidance on information searching skills development.
Access for all on-campus; login required from off-campus
- Current AU Students, Faculty/Researcher, and Staff
Access to databases from anywhere is available to users in the following categories: Assumption University Students, Faculty/Researcher, and Staff (with AU Account)
On Campus
If you are using a computer connected to the campus wired or wireless network you have automatic access to many databases with no login required. Use Easy Search or one of our many Search Tools to access all electronic resources.
Off Campus
Connecting from off-campus doesn’t work as seamlessly as on-campus because the databases aren’t able to recognize that you are an AU user.
See How to Set up Proxy for Off-Campus Access
- Alumni/Outsider
Due to licensing restrictions, limited access (from a public computer at one of our Library locations) is provided for users (who don’t have AU Account), and students who are not currently enrolled or are taking non-credit courses.
