-You can access journals and e-books online by verifying your connection to UofT. If working on campus, any UofT internet connection can simply visit the journal website and will automatically be recognized as a subscriber to any electronic journal UofT gets. The IEEE Xplore site offers this subscriber recognition for UofT.

 Since most of us are working remotely most or all of the time, you'll need to get familiar with ways to access these 'subscriber only' resources from off campus. There are several options for this - use whichever you find most convenient:

 On your own device - PC, Mac, or tablet - you can connect to the University's central VPN called UTORvpn (this is a different service than ECE VPN). The UofT VPN serves as an internet gateway, so with UTORvpn connected from off campus, visiting journal websites gets you subscriber access just as for an on-campus connection.  The UTORvpn uses the single-sign-on system of UTORid and password. This site has links with details on how to configure UTORvpn on each of the different operating systems it supports:

-In a browser on your own computer connected off campus, you can also use the library's web proxy service without connecting to UTORvpn (e.g. if you are a guest on the computer, and can't install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN software).

 With Google Scholar set up with UofT Libraries linked, any search result that has an electronic version available through our library subscriptions should display a new link to the right of the result, saying "Get it! (UTL)"
 Once you complete the UTORid single-sign-on one time, these links will then open the linked result directly without prompting again. The Library Link setting is PC-specific and per-browser (you'd need to set it up once in each browser on each computer you use.) The single-sign-on access may only persist for that browser session -- either rebooting or quitting the browser and restarting it may require you to do single-sign-on once for the first "Get it!" link you follow in the new browser session.
+====== Try several! ======
 As you can see there are plenty of alternatives for taking advantage of UofT's extensive collections and journal subscriptions. I suggest you go through setting up at least two or three of these that interest you, and see which route is the most comfortable for your work flow. You may find two or more of these prove helpful in different stages of your work.
