VPN Service is Changing

The UC Berkeley campus is changing its VPN software. All current VPN users will need to switch to the new version before August 12, 2009. VPN software is used to access article databases, electronic journals, and other licensed resources found through the Library website and catalogs. Some programs require VPN for off-campus use: Luna Insight, MDL Crossfire Beilstein and Gmelin, SciFinder Scholar (client version only), the java client in UC Image Service, and the Connect function in EndNote. VPN will work with all web browsers and most types of Internet connection, except AOL. See this link for detailed instructions for downloading and installing the new version.
