Why are some ejournals available from home and some are not?
For journals that aren’t freely available, license agreements require the library to screen for University of Washington (UW) status before allowing access. • The most common strategy for authentication is registering official identifying numbers for UW computers, known as IP addressses. If you access ejournals from a campus computer, the IP is often recognized and access is granted. If you use the UWICK or the UW Libraries proxy server, your home computer is assigned a UW IP address and access is granted. • Look for the lock icon next to the journal title for specific information about access restrictions and alternative passwords.
