Remote Access

You can log in directly with your UM or azM account using the following link:  Library Login 

This gives you access to all protected services and resources of UM Library for the duration of your browser session.

Read this article if you need further instructions .

For the best user experience, you can add this link to your browser: Library Login 

Chrome / Firefox
Drag the Library Login link to the bookmark bar of your browser

Internet Explorer
Right click on the Library Login button > Add to favorites > Create in Favorites Bar > Add

Dashboard shortcut
Create your own shortcut on your dashboard using the link: http://umlib.nl/login
This link will take you to the Online Library and checks your status on the go.

When you start at the UM Library homepage, or on another level via a direct link or a search and you are not logged in yet (or you don’t know), you have two options:

• Click on the Library Login link on the top right. A login screen will appear if you’re not connected yet. By logging in you can access all the provided sources and services.
• Just go ahead. There are several triggers that will activate the login screen if you are not connected. However, keep in mind that sometimes you will not pass a trigger point during your journey. This will result in limited access to full text.

Again, you only have to log in once and access will be granted during the rest of your browser session.

The Maastricht University VPN – Virtual Private Network – is a “tunnel” to MAASnet, the university network.

After having installed and activated the VPN connection, your device will communicate with the Internet via the UM VPN server. Consequently, you can use your device as if you’re on campus.

The UM VPN is serviced by the ICT Service Center. Follow this link to the ICTS manuals for more information. If you are off campus you’ll need to log in with your UM-account in order to gain access to these manuals.
