If you're researching off campus then you will need to login to the UCI VPN for authentication through the campus network. There are two different methods of connection:
Software - This authentication process takes a bit more time at the initial setup, but will work better in the long run. Note - some pages may not load properly using IE8.
Web - Use Web VPN to access resources with less initial work. Note - some pages may load more slowly than if using the Software VPN. Also, not all UCI resources (such as Naxos Music Library and Opera in Video) may work with Web VPN.
For additional assistance please contact OIT at (949) 824-2222.
