Q. What is the best way to access electronic resources from off campus?

The Baylor University Libraries subscribe to thousands of electronic resources -- databases, e-books, e-journals, streaming video, and more. These resources are easily accessible from both on and off campus.

In general for off-campus access to the libraries' electronic resources do the following:

Use the OneSearch or the "Databases" which are tabs on the search form on the libraries' main page.
When you click on the appropriate link, you will be prompted for your Bear ID and password (firstname_lastname and password). You may also have to use Duo Two-factor Authentication.
Once authenticated, you should have access to the resource. As long as you do not close your browser, you should not have to re-authenticate when you access other resources requiring Bear ID authentication. Note: Your Bear ID/password authentication will time out after a period of time.
