The VPN provides GW faculty, staff, and students with access to university systems and resources, but in general, it no longer authenticates for access to library resources.
For access to most library resources, GW users will be prompted to authenticate via the George Washington University Single Sign-on regardless of if they are located on campus, off campus, or have logged in to the VPN.
In some rare cases, issues that prevent you from accessing resources via GW Single Sign-On may be resolved by using VPN instead. If you are having trouble accessing a resource, please use our Report a Web Access Problem form to let us know.
VPN information is available on the Virtual Private Network (VPN) page managed by GW IT.
SMHS, GWSPH, and Nursing faculty, students and staff should contact the Himmelfarb Library Information Desk at (202) 994-2962 or himmelfarb@gwu.edu with access problems.
