Use the UF VPN Service

If you don't have VPN software on your computer, use your Gatorlink ID.

GatorLink Account

If you don't have a Gatorlink account or your Gatorlink ID doesn't work, use your library card number.

14-digit Library Number
(Located under the barcode on your Gator-1 card.)

Connecting From Off-Campus

Off-Campus access to library-licensed e-Journals, research databases and e-resources is limited to current UF students, staff, and faculty.

Virtual Private Network

Setting up the UF VPN is recommended if you are connecting from off-campus since it provides the smoothest and most secure way to access the UF Libraries e-resources.

To log on using your Gatorlink or library card number:

  • Enter your account username or number with password and click the Login button.
  • Ensure that your Web browser is set to accept "cookies". Check your browser's options or preferences settings.
  • To use your library number, your card must be activated.
