Remote Access using America Online or CompuServe

Current students, faculty, and staff may access licensed databases and electronic journals even when they are off campus.

If you use America Online or CompuServe for Internet access, you will need to use another browser (Internet Explorer, FireFox, Safari) together with your AOL or CompuServe account.

Once you have installed a full version of of another browse, you will:

  1. Open up your AOL or CompuServe session as you usually do. This will provide a connection to the Internet.
  2. Minimize your AOL or CompuServe session and open up a copy of another web browser.

You will use a valid UARK account to access these resources.

When you click on a link to a database or to an ejournal from the Libraries' Web site, you will be prompted for your UARK username and password for access to databases:
