From George or Research Advisor, just click on the database you want to use. All databases available off campus have EZproxied links, which must be used to gain off campus access.
When you click on the database link, you will be asked for your last name and the 9 digit ID number (begins with the number 8) on the front of your GoCard.
If you are a current Georgetown student, faculty or staff member and don't have a GOCard, you may obtain one from the GOCard Office.

You do not have to tie up your phone connection if you already have a cable modem or DSL line.

Some databases and electronic journals are not available off campus through the proxy server.
There may be problems using the EZproxy with some service providers and/or browsers. Please report any problems to reference@georgetown.edu.

What is GUExpress and how do I use it?

GUExpress is a free service that allows GU faculty, students and staff to dial in to a local number (202 area code) and access the Web just as if you were on campus.
You will need your NetID and password, a computer with a modem, an ordinary phone line, and a browser (such as Netscape or Internet Explorer). PC Instructions | Mac Instructions

Benefits

You can access all Web-based library databases and electronic journals just as though you were on campus.

Disadvantages

Unless you have 2 phone lines, your phone will be busy while online.
If the 202 area code is long-distance for you this will be very expensive.
