Accessing from Off-Campus

We provide a number of resources (databases and online journals) that may be accessed only by University of West Florida (UWF) students, faculty and staff. If you wish to use these resources from off-campus, we must authenticate you as a valid user before connecting you to the service.

You may be prompted for your Nautilus Card number when you first try to connect to a database. This is the 14-digit number found under the barcode on the bottom of your Nautilus Card ID. The login screen will always show the image of the Nautilus Card you see here.

UWF Distance Learners may instead enter their Library Access Number. For more details on services to distance learners, see our Access for Distance Learners page.

NOTE: At times, you may find yourself unable to get into a database or other online resource because you weren't prompted for your Nautilus Card number. To get in, back up to the UWF Library page that had the link to the database you want to use and click on the link in the navigation bar at the top of the page. After you've been validated, click on the database link again to connect to it.
