For up-to-date information on COVID-19 and library services, including vaccination requirements, using special collections, and hybrid library services, please visit COVID Library Updates. More information about Yale's public health response is here. Masks are not required in library reading rooms, although masking is welcome and encouraged.

If you are not on campus right now, please visit our remote access page.

• Most library resources are available via a URL proxy prefix, but you can also download and install the VPN. Being connected to the VPN makes our electronic resources behave as if you were connected to YaleSecure.
• Resources accessed from the library website and catalog will automatically use the off-campus access URL prefix. If you are off-campus, not on the VPN, and NOT accessing a resource through the library website, the prefix is https://yale.idm.oclc.org/login?url= ... and you would get to JSTOR by putting that in front of the JSTOR URL: https://yale.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://jstor.org
• Sometimes, we have access to a resource through an aggregator, not the publisher's website. In those cases, checking the library website for access is very useful.

We have a purchase request form if you need something that is not currently available.
