Introduction
From off-campus, through their own internet service providers, students and staff of James Cook University may obtain online access to University subscribed publications, indexes and abstracts via links from University web pages and via the library catalogue Tropicat. This will take you to the online resources with remote access enabled. For the duration of the current session all resources will be available off campus where JCU has an active subscription. Once enabled for remote access you can go to the catalogue from the web pages or vice versa, you need only login for remote access once per session. A JCU username (login ID) and password will be required to enable access.
