Alternative remote access routes

Access to eResources through MUSE is the recommended & fully supported route to the Library's electronic collection both on & off campus. There remain two alternative remote access routes still supported by CiCS but you are advised to access via MUSE:

VPN (Virtual Private network)

VPN can be used with existing Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and broadband connections. Provides access to a wide range of web-based electronic resources, check individual database pages for further details.

RATS (Remote Access to Sheffield)

Remote access dial-in service, similar to subscribing to a commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Further information about VPN or RATS is available from the Corporate Information and Computing Services (CiCS) HelpDesk on extension 21111, direct line (0114) 222-1111 or alternatively by email at helpdesk@sheffield.ac.uk
