How to access the library databases from home?
Answer: All IBA-students and employees have access to the library pay databases (campus + remote access) from a VPN-connection.
- Go to ums.basyd.dk On the front page, select the button called IBA VPN Access.
- Next, you must choose whether you want to install for Windows (PC) or Mac.
- When VPN-GlobalProtect is installed, you will find it together with the other icons “below the clock” (Windows) or “above the search icon” (Mac).
- When it asks for an IP address, enter the following: vpn175.herningsholm.it
- A window will now pop up. Here the system asks you to log in again with your IBA username and code.
- You now have access to links, databases and journals at IBA.
What does campus + remote access mean?
Answer: ”Campus” means that you can access this pay database whenever you are at IBA and logged in to VPN / the IBA network.
”Remote access” means, that if you are using another network, for instance at home, you have to:
- install VPN-GlobalProtect (see above)
- connect the VPN-client at the icon ”down at the clock” (Windows) or ”at the top with the search icon” (Mac).
The databases are now able to recognize you as belonging to the IBA.
