Introduction

This page summarizes the following electronic resources that can be used from home.

-Recommended resources among the digital resources contracted/provided by Meiji university library and resources for which the number of concurrent access is currently added
-Special trial with support from publishers associated with the spread of COVID-19 infection, or free access resources

Off-campus Access

There are two types of access from off-campus: using the academic authentication federation "GakuNin" and using a VPN connection service. Content compatible with "GakuNin" can be accessed off-campus without using a VPN connection service. For details on each method, please refer to the "GakuNin" usage procedure and the VPN connection service.
Please "disconnect" the VPN connection service immediately after using it.
*Since the VPN connection service often reaches the maximum number of concurrent access due to the increase in usage, please refrain from using it between 14:00 to 18:00 as much as possible.
